Comment (by knarf):
I agree that having a workaround would be nice, and the little overhead (not the pause, but creating a new file instead of changing an existing file) should not hurt.
However, I suggest you contact the admins of the machines where this happens. BeeGFS seems to (at least by default) properly support modification times, and NFSv4 can be configured to do so, too (don't know what the default is there). Usually, problems with modification/creation times usually come from machines with unsyncronized clocks between clients and file servers, e.g., http://www.beegfs.com/wiki/FAQ.
