May not be much help but out of curiosity I tried the same test on a Samba 
server that is also a member of an NT4 domain. It is running 3.0.24 plus the 
6 Vista patches on a Gentoo server.

I don't use the "winbind use default domain = Yes" in smb.conf, but I did test 
that way as well. Also I didn't change the default seperator.

With the "normal" setup (winbind use default domain = No):
--------------------------------------
id DOMAINNAME\\username - shows all groups

id DOMAINNAME\\USERNAME (or any permutation with a cap in the username) - only 
primary groups

id username - returns "No such user"
--------------------------------------

If I set "winbind use default domain = Yes" then:
--------------------------------------
id DOMAINNAME\\username - only primary groups

id DOMAINNAME\\USERNAME (or any permutation with a cap in the username) - only 
primary groups

id username - shows all groups
--------------------------------------
