I recommend you file a bug report with Microsoft.  AFS is not the only file system
that will suffer due to this behavior.

I still can't find anything worthwhile to fix/address this. So I
thought I'd give some simple instructions to recreate the problem and
provide fuel for thought.

Your description of the problem was adequate, from a fileserver
perspective we're behaving correctly. Rewriting a file is not "insert".

The cache manager would need to be excessively clever to avoid the
problem, basically, recognize it's running as someone with only "insert"
and avoid flushing the create for some amount of time, and that's evil,
and stateful.

Perhaps the "right answer" is to use a reserved acl bit for a mode called
"extend" or "append" ("E" or "A" bit, then, perhaps) which lets you
strictly extend, but not overwrite or truncate, a file.
