"hide unreadable" problems with samba-2.2.2 and FreeBSD 4.3

Just upgraded a server from Samba 2.0.something to 2.2.2_2 (installed from the FreeBSD
ports system on a 4.3-RELEASE box)
I had previously done some hacking in the source code to hide unreadable files and was
delighted to be able to turn this on and off via a config option in samba 2.2.
Unfortunatley, it only seems to work with _files_. Unreadable/unscannable _directories_
are not hidden.
Is this intended behaviour or is there a flaw in the code? Does this problem exists on
Linux implementations? I guess I could ask a lot of direct questions about it, but the
upshot is, what's the deal?
I definately need to make this work for this client, so I'll be hacking into dir.c to
do whatever I have to to get it working, but if there's a bug here, I'd be happy to help
get it fixed in the process.
