We can make this feature (passing O_DENY* flags received from clients to filesystem) can be turned on/off on Samba/NFS server to let this particular use case work.

It should only affect windows emulated tasks, nothing else
yes, but not just wine - there is probably a case for Samba server and NFSv4 to optionally request such behafvior).
Agreed, but:
Also we are likely to see more cases where users want to run Samba over an NFS mount and vice versa.
I don't personally see the interest in this case.
(And in fact I'd rather we removed the nfs export code for cifs; I seem to recall from the last discussion that filehandle lookups get ESTALE for inodes that have gone out of cache, and that that wasn't really fixable.)
