I think this is a side effect of the change that went
into 3.4.0pre1. From the changelog :

Changes since 3.4.0pre1
-----------------------

o   Jeremy Allison
    * BUG 6291: Fix 'force user'.

The recycle code uses a substitution of conn->server_info->unix_name
for the "%u" parameter, and this is not (correctly) set to the
forced username on connect (which is required for "force user"
to work correctly.

The real user name is lost after authentication, which is what
you've asked for. The previous (3.3.0) behavior was probably a
side effect of force user not being correct in that release.

I think in the latest Samba 3.3.6 it would behave the same.

Jeremy.
