(Get the code!)
I believe it is smb-specific, yes.
I've already described easy steps to trigger the bug above, so I assume you'd like some more information on how to apply step 1? Here goes:
To install samba:
sudo apt-get install samba
To share a folder, I normally use nautilus and right-click on the folder and choose 'sharing options' and enter the details when prompted. Hopefully the rest is obvious; perhaps you could report a usability bug if it isn't. Naturally, you should allow the samba user to alter files at this point so that a 'move' is possible.
In order to create the file, in nautilus, I normally use right-click then 'Create Document' and 'Empty File'. If you double-click on the resulting file, nautilus will run gedit, which is an editor that will let you enter text and save the edits via the File / Save menu (or CTRL-S also works).
In order to make the file non-writeable, you could try chmod -w from gnome-terminal or if you prefer a GUI, use nautilus, right-click on the file in question and choose 'Properties', 'Permissions' and 'Read-only'.
