This is probably down to one word 'Synology'. They take the Samba code 
and 'improve' it (I call it mangling), this is probably one of their 
'improvements'.

Do you have a contract with Synology ? If you do, you could ask them why 
you are getting xidNumbers in the '3000000000' range instead of the 
expected Samba '3000000' range ? You could also ask them how you join 
Samba as another AD DC to their version of AD DC.

The other thing you could try, do not use the idmap.lbd from the 
synology device, use the one that the join created, the one that you 
backed up.
