If Administrator is not working correctly, then you will have problems,

You should not have to do this and I cannot recommend doing it.

If it is a bug then I think that you are probably the only one suffering 
from it ;-) I think that your last idea is probably the best, move the 
relevant dirs etc (sysvol, private etc) out of the way and re-provision, 
add a gidNumber to Domain Users, add a user and add a uidNumber to the 
new user and then go from there.
