Can you try to reproduce it using this method? This way works for me every time and does not require a second machine:

1. Using samba, share a folder 'test' as 'test' on your local machine (with read/write permissions). In the folder, create an empty document 'test1' and make it read-only.

2. Navigate to this folder in nautilus, ie smb://localhost/test, and use the cut command (ctrl-x) on the empty document 'test1'.

3. Navigate to another folder (eg your home folder) and use the paste command (ctrl-c).

Nautilus successfully copies the file 'test1' and then says that it cannot copy [sic] it due to 'invalid parameter'.

If you want to show that the copy was successful, just put some text into test1 before copying it.
