A couple of quick checks.   Does stat work but readdir fail? ie would:

        stat /mnt/cyrillic_file 

return correct information but

        ls -l /mnt/*

fail.   Would 

        ls -l /mnt/cyrillic*

fail (presumably that would put the file in the first tcp packet of the 
SMB)?

I think it likely that the string conversion routine on the client is at 
fault or the cifs in place string conversion.   The packet reassembly code 
is more generic and would show up problems in read data not just readdir 
(those are the two that can return large buffers from the server).
