Not more than the ones shown in my original mail. The exact mount
command is *checkingfirewall*

mount -t cifs -o user=berni,ip=2001:a60:f001:1::69 //fileserv/pub /pub

The server is a Debian Lenny based i386 system running a self-compiled
vanilla 2.6.28 kernel and Debian packaged Samba 3.2.5-3.

The client is Ubuntu Intrepid (8.10) with intrepid-security,
intrepid-updates and intrepid-proposed enabled. mount.cifs -V does not
work misteriously (displays the usage instruction), the package version
is 3.2.3-1ubuntu3.4.

All those programs are not changed. After booting into kernel
2.6.27-7.14 (intrepid release) or 2.6.27-9.19 (intrepid-security,
intrepid-updates) the above noted mount command works fine, after
booting 2.6.27-11.23 (intrepid-proposed) it's broken. I can change
between those client kernel versions and reproduce it.

The changes between the working and the non-working version should
be as noted in

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/2.6.27-10.20
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/linux/2.6.27-11.23

And I've just discovered something. Remind you, I'm trying to mount
2001:a60:f001:1::69. However, after entering the password the system
tries to reach another address

22:31:24.336790 IP6 2001:a60:f001:1:219:66ff:fe8b:a6e > ff02::1:ff00:69:
ICMP6, neighbor solicitation, who has 2001:a60:f001:1:55:abe3:0:69,
length 32

The (wrong) address changes slightly between consecutive tries, I've seen 
2001:a60:f001:1:4f:abe3:0:69
2001:a60:f001:1:58:abe3:0:69
as well.

Also, when I try some other (legal, but unused) address it bails out at
another code location, e.g.

mount -t cifs -o user=berni,ip=2001:a60:f001:1:cc::69 //fileserv/pub
/pub

results in an immediate (!)

This looks like an address corruption in the memory, maybe the original
BUG was there before and did not trigger because the server was reachable.
