I think we might be on the wrong track here. I think that the Windows client changes the file to world read/write/execute for all users and groups, and this creates these permissions on the file on my debian machine. Is there any way that Samba can prevent these permissions from being created? - I'd like to avoid world-writeable files on my system. I think that "map hidden" refers to hidden files created on DOS/Windows machines.
