Been having this issue on an dc after i updated from 4.1 to 4.2. It 
turned out some users with defined uid also had mappings from winbind in 
idmap.tdb. At firt the uid attributre gets used but afetr a while the 
value fromidmap.tdb was used. The fix was to delete the mappings in 
idmap.tdb.
On an member server you can use net idmap set/get/dump to test this.
