I emailed samba upstream, via the mailing list[1], and the consensus
seems to be "don't do this": re-exporting a network mounted
filesystem/share is asking for trouble, specially when using different
protocols. File locking by itself will be a mess.

A better solution would be to export the storage via smb from the
source, multiple times: storage -> NFS, storage -> SMB. Instead of
storage -> NFS -> SMB.

Granted, we still don't know why it works when debian is the nfs client
and the smb server. If someone can point us at the exact cause, then
perhaps a fix could be envisioned. But for now, this bug has taken many
hours of troubleshooting already, and I fear there isn't much more we
can do.
