Windows 7 responds "Logon failure: user account restriction. Possible reasons are blank passwords are not allowed, logon hour restrictions, or a policy restriction has been enforced" and a Debian Stretch client responds "You are not allowed to logon from this workstation". The Samba DC will provide a non-forwardable TGT, if you ask for it with kinit -F command from the Linux client. Issuing the command kinit -f will again fail with "krb5_get_init_creds: Ticket may not be forwardable".

This behavior is correct according to CVE-2016-2125 (https://www.samba.org/samba/security/CVE-2016-2125.html) which states:

All subsequent TGS requests on the same logon session from a Windows 7 client didn't have the forwardable flag set.

Yes, please file a bug.  Clearly we need a test for this. 

(Regarding Rowland's point, the Heimdal package on Debian won't
actually be used by the Samba 4.5 package).
