I assume he has configured 10028 as uid in the ad for that user.
Using the realm as the domain name is not wrong seen from the windows 
side of things where the netbios name is there for backward 
compatibility. For example i can use [realm]\[username] or [netbios 
domain name]\[username] to logon to a windows domain member.

In my case I had a few users to whom i added the rfc uid attribute abit 
later so they already had mappings in idmap.tdb. This did not cause any 
issues with samba 4.1 it always used the uid values. With 4.2 and the 
switch to winbindd however it sometimes used the old mappings from 
idmap.tdb. An good test case was a second logon on an windows client. On 
the first logon the users homedir was accessible at the second logon 
samba had picked the vlaue from idmap.tdb and the user had no access to 
it's homedir. net cache flush or an samba restart fixed the mapping 
temporary. The OP may have eigther this issue or like you said the cause 
is samba has not yet fully imlemented using the REALM as the domain name.
