I tried to emulate what you have experienced by modifying some of the
time parameters in smb.conf and then remounting a win95 share. I couldnt
achieve the same symptoms, so the problem is probably with the smbfs
code.

I dont think its a kernel issue.

After looking at proc.c in the samba source, smbfs will always apply the
unix time zone to whatever date it gets from a smb share. It looks like
a time zone problem of some sort. Can you test this by changing the
linux timezone as a test?
