Hmm had the same over here..
i got it kinda working for me with these smb.conf things..

mangle case = yes       ( dunno why i use this one, but it's there)
mangling method = hash  (gues hash2 should do the trick as well..)
mangle prefix = 6       (or 5 ??)

the 6/5 stands for the number of original filename letters 12345~1.zip
btw
don't forget to shutdown en restart your samba server, otherwise it
woun't work..
