I had got same symptoms (on first replication after domain join) with 'master' branch too. 
I'm still unsure what causes this (Windows Event Log doesn't reveal any errors). But, since partitions had been copied during domain join, I would like to try take the Windows DC down, seize FSMO roles on Samba DC and join another Samba DC using the name Windows DC had. However, we have some GPOs in the Sysvol (and the Sysvol isn't going to replicate). So, my questions are: is it possible to manually replicate Sysvol, or should I just restore GPOs from backups after taking Windows DC down? Will such approach introduce any AD inconsistence/fuctionality problems?

Thanks in advance.
