The bug might as well be in the CIFS implementation. Not easy to say.
I guess it's safe to disable this setting, as the overwriting is prohibited by
the lockfile.

Maybe it even makes sense to disable this setting by default? Looks like it
does not work reliably on network shares. See also bug 131388.
