Might be. But it wasn't an issue until the update. My Win7 clients can't
copy files onto shares anymore, since then. Error message says not
enough disk space.

I had to rebuild Samba without quota support as a workaround. Which now
makes it show wrong sizes for those who actually have a userquota.

I even tried cooking up my own 'get quota command', but that doesn't
seem to be used for NFS quotas.
