It depends. :) If user 2 with cwd in folder_b really has a open handle
on that dir, then with strict rename enabled I'd expect the client
attempting the delete should get a consistent error message.

I recommend taking a closer look at network traces and code.

Please share more details on when the handle will remain open on the directory,
and how to verify this behavior ?

when the client has sent a SMB2 CREATE -> handle, but didn't send a
close on the resulting filehandle.

Look at a network trace.
