Could be.  I'm trying it now just out of curiosity.  Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky and this will be a fix.

Don't know if I would put so much weight on that - a difference, yes,
but not a key item. XP may just be more finicky when it comes to
things like proper naming conventions.
I haven't run a Samba-2.x installation in years but I have at one time
or another had Samba working successfully with everything from the
workgroup add-on for MS-DOS to Windows 7.
