It only strips the default domain. All the others are untouched.  It is
(essentially) also only in the getpwnam() and pam codepaths, not in the
SID->ID stuff, we generally avoid going via names as much as possible. 

This is by design.  The while idea of idmap_autorid and idmap_rid is
that we don't want to rely on any remote communication (eg name->sid
calls and reverse) to determine the mapping, as that could fail at the
critical momenet.

As I said, I suspect autorid.tdb is being damanaged or removed.
