I'm marking this bug as closed.

You mean auto-revert, right? And yes, if `file-notify-add-watch' doesn't
return a proper watch descriptor, auto-revert falls back to its polling
mode.
glib is said to use also polling for file systems where you don't have
native file notification support. This would make it superior to inotify
for mounted filesystems, and alike.
Best regards, Michael.
