What branch?  Did you update the libnss_winbind.so library when you 
compiiled the new winbindd?  This can cause no end of problems (voice
of experience here).  Can wbinfo match the name?  What about getent passwd 
<user>?  

I'm using a fairly recent (maybe a week old) snapshot of SAMBA_2_2 as a
domain member (with password server = *) and I've not noticed any 
problems.
