Ok we found with the help and and patience of Trever the problem:

Vista was trying to access in an anonymous way the files of the GPO. 
Although I'm still not sure why he wanted to do so I'm rather enclined 
to think that the lack of dfs led to this behavior.

In the mean time I have found bugs in our dfs implementation that 
prevented (sometimes)  w7  (and others maybe) to correctly get the dfs 
referal information.

I attached a patch to this email, I'll refine him and push it to the git 
tree with the according unit tests. If someone witness some strange 
behavior with vista/w7 and gpo in the near future it might be 
interesting to try this patch and activate dfs support with the 
following stanza:

host msdfs = yes in the [general] section.

Cheers.

Matthieu
