There is a file locking problem in FreeDOS which I believe that was
fixed, so i suggest:
1) use the latest FreeDOS kernel from http://fdos.org/kernel/
2) test with MS-DOS. The test you reffer to bellow was with which DOS?
The problem may not be in dosemu ;-)

Why is it not safe to run samba client under Linux? and doseemu on top
of that?
Locks are not "inherited". When dos under dosemu try to lock file or region
of file these locks are not passed to samba server.

What go wrong if you use a linux-samba client on every machine and use
dosemu with lredir? Have you tried it?
I use http://www.burtonsys.com/download/TESTLOCK.ZIP for lock tests.
Results of such solution are below:
test result (test description)
------- ------- -----------------------------------------------------
Test #1 Passed. (Creating & modifying & deleting files)
Test #2 FAILED! (Examining & modifying file attributes)
Test #3 FAILED! (Enforced exclusive access, and share errors)
Test #4 Passed. (Shared read access to files)
Test #5 FAILED! (Shared modify access to files)
Test #6 Passed. (File commit)
Test #7 FAILED! (File region locking, and lock errors)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Test #8 not run (Adjacent region locks, and lock/write conflicts)
Test #9 Passed. (Appending & verifying new file sizes [NT 3.5 bug])
Test #10 Passed. (Appending & verifying file sizes w/ closes)
Test #11 Passed. (Appending & verifying file sizes w/ file commits)
Semaphore Passed. (semaphore-file kludge)
Test #3-A Passed. (Enforced exclusive access & share errors, 2-session)
Test #5&6-A FAILED! (Shared modify access & file commit, 2-session)
Test #7-A FAILED! (File region locking, 2-session)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The same test on the same resource with client directly connected to
samba (eg. on XP) passes all tests.
