Quite interesting. Can you describe any particular case of a different
behavior (samba + ext2 vs. samba + reiser)? I really wonder where the
roots of such differences are.

I do not discuss quality of the filesystems. I thought that there were no
differences in the way of using access times between all linux native
filesystems (ext2/3, reiser, xfs, jfs).
