I've finally been able to go some more debugging on this. The password
program is indeed being passwd the args correctly, but it looks like
the parent is hanging around out there waiting after the child exits.
Here's what I have in the logfile (debug level 100):

Doing SamOEMChangePassword
api_SamOEMChangePassword: Change password for <SKEET>
get_smbpwd_entry: opening file /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
get_smbpwd_entry: search by name: skeet
get_smbpwd_entry: skipping comment or blank line
get_smbpwd_entry: skipping comment or blank line
get_smbpwd_entry: skipping comment or blank line
get_smbpwd_entry: found by name: skeet
get_smbpwd_entry: returning passwd entry for user skeet, uid 1030
Password change for user: skeet
Dochild for user skeet (uid=0,gid=0)

I trussed the smbd parent process and got the following:

waitid(P_PID, 28377, 0x08046F60, WEXITED|WTRAPPED) (sleeping...)

This child process is currently defunct.
