Who did you report this problem to ?

If it was Samba, then I don't think this will get fixed, because there 
isn't anything to fix.

If you reported it to your 'expensive commercial software' then bug them 
again (and again and again.... until they fix their broken software)

There may be another way around this, add: 'winbind use default domain = 
yes' and then remove any 'SUBDOM\' from the smb.conf. This will change 
'SUBDOM\username' to 'username' (same goes for groups), would this work 
with your software ? (note, you can only do this with one DOMAIN in 
smb.conf).
