Yup. The "normal" mount contains nothing that normal users should access.
Accessing the photos will leave ghosts on the device, and there have been no
ways to update the music database in Linux for a few iOS releases.

You can still access the device by editing the URL in the "Documents on..."
location. Just remove the ":3" at the end.

If you have use cases that aren't the 2 mentioned above, or using your iDevice
as a thumb drive, please file bugs against gvfs in the upstream GNOME Bugzilla.

Cheers
