No there is something that you missunderstand, the thing is that in
order to do the file access control samba needs to know on the behalf of
which uid/gid the access are done.
With series of samba 3.x you have different way of doing this mapping or
to create unix users that have the same name as the user declared in
Samba (either in the local sam or in the NT domain sam), but most of the
time now it's winbind that is used. In Samba AD there is just the
winbind solution as other solution didn't have a real interest in the
context of an active directory domain.
So what winbind does ? it allocate a UID to users and GID to groups in a
database it stores the association SID<->UID/GID and next time it is
asked to translate the same SID to a UID/GID it will use the value in
its database.
In your particular case, when you connect to the samba AD with smbclient
as AD user steve and try to create a dir the server checks the
security.NTACL extended attribute, as it didn't exists it knows that it
will have to translate posix rights to NT ACLs. At this moment in order
to know if you are the owner of the parent directory or in group of the
parent directory it will ask its internal winbind to translate user's
SID and the SID of user's groups to UID and GID, and it will turn out
that the UID of unix user steve is not at all the UID of AD user steve
(which is in the 3000000+ range), as other translated posix rights
didn't give any write rights to the AD user the directory creation was
not created.

Sure this is the expected behavior, before there was a bug in the posix
to NT ACLs translation that granted the write right even if you had just
the read and execute right you can have the detail by looking at this
changeset: d1274f7f6236b47a1c6aa1737b054ed521d31b67
I don't really know your case but I think it's not such a problem at
least so far nobody complained, on the DC you don't need to create unix
account for the AD users. As you need to create directory for each user
there is a couple of solution:
1) change the rights on the directory that is shared as "home" so that
the group has a write right, then change group to be users (that's
because we map the domain users group to the user unix group)
2) for each user connect using smbclient and create the directory of
this user
or
For each user, use wbinfo -i <ad_user> and then create a folder for this
user and use the uid obtained with wbinfo to set the owner of the directory.
For instance on my test server I have:
./bin/wbinfo -i steve
MATWS\steve:*:3000010:100::/home/MATWS/steve:/bin/false
Note: first you have to do a ./bin/wbinfo -u and beware the first time
it is _slow_
