I can confirm this bug affects me on Precise trying to access a windows share through Nautilus. Nautilus views the files and folders with no problem, but any attempt to open them results in an "invalid argument" message from the opened application.

However, playing audio and video files seems to work, even if copying them still fails. It seems to me as though the system can't access the final several kilobytes (or megabytes) of any file. I think this must be a bug in gvfs, but I might be mistaken.
