Then please warn users that they are using Samba in an unsupported way
during conversion. Bonus points if an error message is logged that contains
"username" and "blank".

If you point me to the right source files, I should be able to provide a
patch for that.

TBH that when an admin is sticking to the documentation, no error is
produced but things fail with an incomprehensible error message is making
me rather nervous when recommending samba.
