I think Samba is just missing the else clause in smbd/negprot.c(since
reply_common sets FLAGS2_EXTENDED_SECURITY otherwise). Something like:

else {
remove_from_common_flags2(FLAGS2_EXTENDED_SECURITY);
SSVAL(outbuf,smb_flg2,(SVAL(outbuf,smb_flg2) &
(~FLAGS2_EXTENDED_SECURITY)));
}

but in any case I have to workaround it in the Linux cifs client by
paying more attention to the capability bit than to the actual smb flag
