Is there any difference in behavior when you open the files from within
the applications themselves so that you can remove the application load
time from the equation?
Just a little FYI--MS Office is a strange animal in how it and Samba
play together. It is not uncommon to see behavior there that you don't
see anywhere else. For example--I'd pay good money to see a Samba
configuration where MS Word (2003) sets the archive bit properly after a
file is edited.
Also, as others have mentioned, Windows and its applications can have
long memories about servers contacted in the past. For example, the list
of recently opened files.
I doubt this would have an effect, but just for giggles you could flush
the dns cache (ipconfig /flushdns)

Do you get the same behavior if you attempt to open a .doc file
with Open Office?

The answer is yes to that, but I would estimate that it is a little
less noticeable.
Let me correct that. It is a lot less noticable. Maybe even it doesn't
happen and I'm seeing is the difference in load time for the OO
software. Hard to tell for sure. Definitely it is not as bad with OO.
Lastly, I'm not sure what happens when you use true or false as a
value for oplocks and level2 oplocks, but I thought the values were
either yes or no.
Using "no" in place of "false" made not difference.
