Hi,
I have finally done my little investigation when applying utime() or utimes()
to a SMB file path :

In both case, the access and modification times are preserved.
So it seems that the cp and tar utilities does not its job about
preserving times over SMB path (I still don't know why ...).

I have a source code example available, if anyone is interested.
