   I initially reported a different result (based on my testing).   
   Now, 10 minutes later, I see what you saw.   
      
   Windows/Samba has some inconsistencies as a result of caching on both   
   sides interacting incoherently. They mostly stabilize after a few   
   minutes and a "Refresh" on the windows side.
