I managed to narrow down the problem: It seems that 2.2 clients cannot
register to 2.2 PDCs, while a 2.0.7 client can. E.g., if the PDC is running
2.2.0-alpha1, then a client calling smbpasswd from 2.2.0-alpha1 yields:

while the 2.0.7 smbpasswd does the job right (no other changes, client's
smbd/nmbd not running in both cases):
