I've retried commenting out this line and repeating the entire copy with
robocopy: now the disk usage corresponds to the one reported by Windows and by
"du -s -h --apparent-size".
Are there any technical reason for that? Should i file a bug?

I have an ext4 filesystem and from the smb.conf man page "strict allocate = yes"
looks like a recommended setup.
