Last week I asked a tangential question. The answer was, naturally,
that, given a dual environment Windows/Unix, the underlying Unix rules
for a filesystem will always apply to files on the Samba server.

In your case (as in mine) what you're seeing is the normal Unix cp/mv
behavior and I wouldn't call it a Samba "bug". I suppose a routine could
be written into samba to counter this, the developers would have to
answer that.
