Just to give you some hope - I don't have this problem.

I have users which belong _only_ to "Domain Users" group and they have 
WinXP Theme loaded without a problem.

BTW, did you move those profiles from local profiles or other Domains or 
were they created when users first login into Domain? ACLs and ownership 
on files in the Roaming profiles are stored in NTUSER.DAT file which is 
a representation of user registry. To properly copy User Profiles you 
would need to use Window's "System Properties/Advanced/User Profiles".
