We have the same problem.  See passdb/sampass.c, line 115.  Although
user->unix_name is filled in, user->nt_name is the empty string.  I do
not know why.

The attached patch is a workaround; it uses the unix_name as if it
were the requested name (%U).  This is not a correct fix (I am looking
into that now), but it does make my logon scripts and roving profiles
work again.
