Thanks. I looked at the vetofiles settings and they appear allright. Actually, the problem disappeared when I restarted the samba server (which is a little unnerving). While I'm glad the problem is gone (and now am convinced that it is a bug in samba somewhere, since nothing else changed), I don't have any means to investigate it any further (since it isn't happening anymore).
