OK, I can confirm this, I was using 4.4.2 and running the same command, 
I got this:

root at dc1:~# smbclient -L localhost -U%
Domain=[SAMDOM] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.4.2]

     Sharename       Type      Comment
     ---------       ----      -------
     netlogon        Disk
     sysvol          Disk
     IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba 4.4.2)
Domain=[SAMDOM] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.4.2]

     Server               Comment
     ---------            -------

     Workgroup            Master
     ---------            -------

A short while later, after I updated to 4.4.3, nothing else changed:

root at dc1:~# smbclient -L localhost -U%
Domain=[SAMDOM] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.4.3]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_DISCONNECTED

It seems there is a bug report for a similar problem, see: 
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11858

The release notes for 4.4.3 seems to suggest this is supposed to be fixed:

Stefan Metzmacher <metze at samba.org>
.......
* BUG 11858: Allow anonymous smb connections.
