no.  the only problem that this should cause is for the  DMB to not be the
LMB for its local subnets, thus delaying the propagation of browser
information.

your question in fact is the confusion.  the pdc MUST be the domain master
browser and vice-versa (both require domain<1b> nbt name).  this has
nothing to do with local master browser roles (domain<1d> nbt name
broadcast-registered-only).
