My money would be on a driver bug. I've seen instances where drivers work with MS servers but fail on Samba boxes due to the fact the the driver doesn't NULL terminate REG_SZ values. The Windows server just happens to use a different buffer size and zeros the memory before sending the reply. Could be something similar here.
