Runing on archlinux server (up-to-date).
Everything about Samba was working fine for years, but one specific point seems broken with 4.22

Kernel : 
Linux saturne 6.13.5-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu, 27 Feb 2025 18:09:44 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Samba : 
samba-2:4.22.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

Context : 
- i have one share, exposing one folder and containing symlinks pointing to USB attached drives
- because of this, i have the "wild links" option activated (for years)
- since last update, i can still browse and create files or folders in these locations (it's working fine "as before")
- however, now i can NOT anymore delete anything (i have a weird "permission error" at client side (= from another computer) (this is not possible, as i'm able to CREATE new folders, for example) and a "file not found" (see below) in the samba server logs

Configuration is basically (unix permissions are disabled at global level section) : 

[media]
        map archive = no
        printable = no
        write list = <my account>
        path = /home/data/media/
        hide dot files = no
        valid users = <my account>
        read only = no
        public = yes
        browsable = yes
        writable = yes
        case sensitive = yes
        mangled names = no

[downloads]
        copy = media
        path = /home/data/downloads/
        follow symlinks = yes
        wide links = yes


in that download folders i do have symbolic links like : 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 <my account> <my account> 20 2023-10-12 17:37 usb -> /mnt/external/usb/

Again : 
- from a client computer (using NEMO as a file manager) i can create & browse this content as before
- especially i can create new folders (i.e., it does not seem a permission issue - again, permissions are fine everywhere and have not been touched) ("Create new folder" with name "Untitled Folder" => working, folder is created with proper permissions and proper owner (<my account>))
- but when willing to delete that "Untitled Folder" folder (or rename it), i have (with debug log = 3) this in log :

and that weird "STATUS_NO_MORE_FILES" :

Seems definitely a regression, i would say.
