I think this has been the case for some time. We also had some issues 
with this 1-2 years ago. On this list the topic pops up from time to 
time but it is never solved. I really think it is a Samba bug but nobody 
has been able to proof this.
In the end we decided to go for longer passwords more complex and stop 
the expiry.
