I think it's because the URI RFC does not allow unescaped '/' inside a URI:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt?number=3986

On page 12:
"URI producing applications should percent-encode data octets that
 correspond to characters in the reserved set unless these characters
 are specifically allowed by the URI scheme to represent data in that
 component."

and '/' is one of the reserved characters (listed on the same page 12). It could
be only allowed if the 'http' scheme allows unescaped '/' (after looking at
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2616.txt?number=2616, it could allow also '/').

But if GnomeVFS would special-case http URIs, it could become pretty ugly...
