A workaround I have just found: 
if i mount the filesystem with the undocumented option: 

# mount.posixovl -1 /mnt/fileserver/subdir

i'm able to chmod on mounted file system.
Reading the source i've learnt the magic option enables the "single thread" 
mode. Maybe it has performance issues, but at least it is usable now.
