Hi Scott!

I had the same problem you have. Because all this bug fix take too long
I found the alternate solution which is maybe even better than bug fix
for Gedit. I'm using different default editor Geany which in my opinion
is better than Gedit. You could of course use any other in many
available editors. As I understand only Gedit have problem with saving
over cifs.

I forgot how I've changed default editor but I believe you have to
change line in "~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list" to
"text/plain=geany-usercustom.desktop". I'm sure you'll find solution on
the internet if that is not enough.
