If the servers where people are seeing this problem are all openwrt running Samba 2.0, then it appears this is a known incompatibility dating back to 2004. I could open a bug report upstream asking for Linux CIFS compatibility with Samba 2.0, but if it hasn't been fixed so far, it's unlikely that anyone will fix it now.
