I was thinking about assigning this to the desktop-team (as I'd not know which component does the UI for this), but then I realized this would IMHO have no gain.

The current error tells the user "share name games is already a valid system user name".
If one would now extend the GUI to better "isolate me from samba intricacies" and as your example describes maybe by "another dialog asking for confirmation before performing the operation that samba judges to be a mistake".
It would then tell the user "I'm not going to send this request to samba as it will complain about the share name games already being a valid system user name".
Where would be the benefit, the user is still told almost the very same things?

And worst case if you or anyone else later on convinces (or implements and submits) upstream samba to reconsider and allow to add such shares through `net usershare add` then the UI would still block it despite it would now work. That feels even more wrong.

.... just to explain why I didn't assign the desktop team
