Word for Mac on NFS share thinks documents are read only

I have a strange issue with am Unraid server running NFS shares.
Facts:
* Running a fresh install of Word on a fresh Mac on a fresh Unraid server
* Documents are on an NFS4 network share
* The share and documents has all permissions: Read - Write - Execute
* I can verify this by using "Get info" on a Word document and see that myself, mygroup and all users have Read and Write. I can also verify directly on server. Documents are 777 (rwx for all)
* Ready only is not set on document (as seen from Mac get info)
* Locked is not set on document (as seen from Mac get info)
Symptoms:
* When I open a document located on the share in Word on the Mac - it displays a message that the document is read only and only gives me the option do duplicate it. I can duplicate it fine and save to the network location, but when opening the duplicated document, I get the read only message again.
* No other programs are behaving this way on the same share - Excel, Powerpoint etc works fine. I can even open a Word document in a text editor and are able to save it - so if it definitely not read only
* If I create a new Word document and save it to this network share - I get the same behaviour - it gets read only
* If I map the network share using samba (SMB) protocol instead of NFS, it works fine - issue is only with NFS (but I prefer NFS due to speed & reliability when there are many files)
So somehow Word thinks that documents on the network share are read only - while they definitely not are read only.
Any ideas?
