Good sleuthing! Do you know what version of Samba you are using? I did a 
quick test with a number of different 2.x and 3.x Samba servers and 
could duplicate it on one of them (running 3.0.23). Looking through the 
Samba bugzilla I found 3467 [1] which looks like it might be the issue. 
I don't have a 3.0 server newer than 3.0.23 to check just now.
