Then put them in AD, unless they are 'system' users (users with an ID
less than 999).

That is easy to fix, open /etc/pam.d/common-session in your favourite
editor, find this line:

session optional                        pam_mkhomedir.so

Change it to:

session optional                        pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0077
