I can't say how to dupe it using Samba shares, but I believe Tien's
suggestion of using "security=share" would do it.

Any share requiring authentication should cause this problem to occur.
Nautilus won't prompt for credentials, and displays a blank folder when
one tries to access a share. In Windows AD- it apparently tries to
repeatedly access the server using the Ubuntu login name without a
password, which results in the user's account being locked-out (assuming
the Ubuntu user name matches an AD user name).

The work-around is to use the "Connect to Server" dialog, but it is
necessary to specify a share name, and it falsely reports that the share
could not be mounted, even though it will then show up in the Places
list.

Prior to Hardy- shares could be accessed with ease just by browsing them
through the "Network" Place. If one tried accessing a password-protected
share- they would be prompted to provide user credentials, which could
optionally be saved to the Gnome Keyring.

My understanding, from a previous post by Sebastien on one of the many
duplicates of this bug, is that this is a problem with gvfs and it is
supposedly being worked on...

I really wish someone would get this fixed. It has pretty much killed my
push to roll out Ubuntu in a corporate environment.
