Here it works like expected and described in the manpage. %U is resolved 
into the username:

# grep "template home" /etc/samba/smb.conf
      template homedir = /home/%U

# getent passwd muehlfeld
muehlfeld:*:1061:513::/home/muehlfeld:/bin/false


And if I change the path:

# grep "template home" /etc/samba/smb.conf
      template homedir = /home/someTestString/%U

# getent passwd muehlfeld
muehlfeld:*:1061:513::/home/someTestString/muehlfeld:/bin/false



# winbindd --version
Version 4.1.0
