As found out in discussions with Microsoft engineers at an interop event, when a client requests setting timestamps on a file to -1 or -2 this requests special behaviour from the server on the filehandle.

-1 disable timestamp updates on subsequent IO operations on the file, -2 restores it.

Link to MS doc to follow.
