Peter, thank you for your report and analysis. This issue has been introduced upstream by commit c2b93e06 (cifs: only set ops for inodes in I_NEW state) and the fix is already queued for most of the stable kernels. It should hit Precise (and all the other series) in the next SRU update cycle, which starts this week.
