You have not described a data loss bug.  Please don't overinflate bug

You say that you're trying to set up a share for guest access.  What is the
setting of 'usershare allow guests' on the server?  The upstream default for
this setting is 'no'; the default in the Debian-provided smb.conf is 'yes'.
Unless this is set to 'yes', users are not allowed to set up
guest-accessible shares.
