I think the difference in the response between the standard versus pass-through level lies in how the file handle is obtained during the call (given that TRANS2_SET_PATH_INFORMATION passes the path, and not the handle). The logical conclusion from the trace is that pass-through gets the existing handle, and the non pass-through value simply fails, because a new handle cannot be opened due to the lack of sharing.

Pass-through is basically implementation dependent, as noted in [MS-FSCC] (reference below), so there is a possibility this may not be further elaborated on in the documents.

That won't wash I'm afraid. If it's visible on the wire, and it
changes the visible behaviour of the file server, then it needs
to get documented.
