Comment (by davidsarah):

 Ah, it's all coming back to me now. I'd originally intended to close any
 open files on an SFTP connection when the connection was dropped (as it is
 when the sshfs process is killed), but then realized that is incorrect and
 might lead to data loss. So that explains why the comment at
 [source:src/allmydata/frontends/sftpd.py at 4545#L837] (which claims that
 this bug can't happen!) is incorrect.
