Understood.

My guess is that it is a limitation of CIFS. Unfortunately, I am not
the sysadmin for the system on which I encountered this issue, so
there is no easy way for me to investigate further (e.g. by altering
the CIFS configuration to see if the issue persists).

Thank you again for your help.
