Well you're violating the contract Samba has with the client here.
If you do this, and you leave Samba telling the client that you are
case insensitive but case preserving then you're lying to the client - there's
no way such a dual directory could be created from the client, so no
wonder things get confused.

What do you think should be the correct action here ?
