This happens on multiple servers running multiple Samba versions that have
been stable for "a very long time", as in several years (one server
is still running Samba 2.2.5).

Ok, same machine, same server/share, this time on Cygwin 1.5.25:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 PC1163-8460-XP 1.5.25(0.156/4/2) 2008-06-12 19:34 i686
Cygwin

$ ls -i //SambaServer/share/TestFile
1277840537592983992 //SambaServer/share/TestFile

$ ls -i //SambaServer/share/TestFile
1277840537592983992 //SambaServer/share/TestFile

Inodes are consistent.
