I tried mounting the Linux server as both a smb and nfs share, and got
the same results. I did, however, find a command line option that
seems to work around the problem. The --size-only parameter forces
rsync to only pay attention to file size changes. This works perfectly
for my situation, but may not work so well for MS Office files.

I may try recompiling, but it's nice to know there's an option that
will work with bog standard Apple rsync.
