OK, now that I have looked at both traces in more detail, here is what is 
happening:

The bad trace, perhaps the one from UNIX, is returning exactly the same 
short name for each of those files, 0123456789AB.

The client tries to use the short name, and the server obviouly gets 
confused.

In the second case, the short names are all correct looking names, or the 
form 012345~1, 012345~2 etc.
 
Have you modified Samba's name mangling code to do silly things?
