I can confirm this findings.

I am running Gentoo Linux and my Samba was on latest 3.0 release. Changing
the registry keys in LanmanWorkstation parameters to enable domain
compatibility helped to join the domain. However the error about changing
the primary DNS domain remained.
I don't know if this is relevant at all or just annoying. The DNS suffix for
the connection is published by the DHCP server here. But maybe the message
is about something else.

Anyway I immediately faced the problem that the trust relationship between
the workstation and the machine failed when I try to log in: "The trust
relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed."

So I followed this thread and first upgraded to the latest Samba release
available for my distribution (Gentoo) which was 3.3.6. Still no go.
Following your suggestion I've created a local overlay and some Samba 3.3.4
overlays. Surprisingly you're right and Samba 3.3.4 works great. So
something has been broken (or enhanced in a Win-7 incompatible way) in Samba
3.3.6.
If I find some time I will try to use Samba 3.4 too but this might be more
difficult than my 3.3.4 overlays...
