I cannot confirm it. If I put in a invalid user with the
xfce-mcs-setting, the query fails and the prompt for user/password
requests comes up.

It should be there. There are a list of errors returned by smbclient,
specified in smb/smb_misc.c which provoke the prompt to come up:
char *challenges[]={
	  "Error opening local file",
	  "ERRDOS",
	  "ERRSRV",
	  "ERRbadpw", /* before samba 2.2.3 */
	  "NT_STATUS_WRONG_PASSWORD", 
	  "NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED",
	  "NT_STATUS_ILL_FORMED_PASSWORD",
	  "NT_STATUS_PASSWORD_RESTRICTION",
	  "NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER",
	  "NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE",
	  "NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_RESTRICTION",
	  "NT_STATUS_INVALID_LOGON_HOURS",
	  "NT_STATUS_INVALID_WORKSTATION",
	  "NT_STATUS_PASSWORD_EXPIRED",
	  "NT_STATUS_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED",
	  "NT_STATUS_ACCOUNT_DISABLED",
	  NULL
};
