that's what i've expected.
These cifs vfs bugs have been fixed in a later kernel release.
I was able to test that on a (somewhat more recent kernel than
yours) 2.6.22.18-0.2, which was shipped with cifs vfs version 1.49.
The 'mv' and 'cp -p' problems are fixed in there.

Btw - you can also expect cp -p errors, when ACLs are used and
the remote samba server is exporting a share on a *file system*
which does not support ACLs - or is not configured to do so.
 (e.g. ext3 can be mounted with the "acl,user_xattr" option).
On the cifs client side one can use the cifs mount option "noacl"
to disable acls.

So i can only recommend to update the kernels on your linux clients.
Good luck!  :-)
