The bug has been confirmed and there are explanations and patches but the maintainers don't seem ready to apply it which is unfortunate as it is a very nefarious bug (Windows 10 doesn't support SMB1.0 by default). If you aren't aware of this bug you could mistakenly think all files of a share are being backed up when they aren't.

Unfortunately I'm not sure how to apply the patches and recompile just the cifs module.
