I've tried to reproduce this in case we neede to stop ship on 3.0.0 for 
it, but had no luck.  However, I think it might be a caching issue.
Can you stop winbindd, remove the netsamlogon_cache.tdb and restart 
winbindd and see if thatmakes a difference.

There are several variants of this logged in bugzilla (226, 295, & 406).
Can you see if any match you environment?

Do you have 'winbind use default domain = yes' by any chance?  If so, 
have you tried disabling it?

Not that easy I'm afraid.  Try the above suggestions first and let me know.
