Hi, it would seem that there are 3 variants of winbind available at the 
present and they are all different.

DC1 running samba4 (only samba & smbd daemons running)
# getent passwd rowland
HOME\rowland:*:3000016:3000012::/home/HOME/rowland:/bin/bash

Client1 running samba 3.6.3 (nmbd/smbd/winbindd daemons running)
# getent passwd rowland
rowland:*:3000016:3000012::/home/HOME/linuxusers/rowland:/bin/bash

Client2 (running samba4 daemons nmbd/smbd/winbindd)
# getent passwd rowland
rowland:*:1105:1103:rowland:/home/HOME/rowland:/bin/bash

The dc winbind pulls the unix uidnumber & gidnumber and the template 
homedir, client1's winbind pulls the  unix uidnumber & gidnumber and the 
unixhomedir and client2's winbind pulls the ms uid & gid and the 
template homedir.

I was told that samba 4 winbind would be sorted in samba 4.1
