This is exactly the issue. The install has left an ldb plugin
(encrypted_secrets.so) around which blocks operation as it can't
operate with the older Samba version but isn't overwritten as it didn't
exist in the older version.
However I also need to write up about the GUID index change, which also
prevents in-place downgrades. It seems I forgot to mention that in the
WHATSNEW.
(That requires running source4/scripting/bin/sambaundoguididx before
any downgrade in-place from 4.8 to 4.7 and below).
Thanks,
Andrew Bartlett
