OK.
I'll look into this.

Told by whom?
I expected at boot Winbind would look for the list of DCs, eventually 
try to contact one and, if that fails, contact the other.
(Which, BTW, I think it did, because that's what was listed and I saw 
traffic from the client to the working DC).

At first sight, there's some slight differences ("getent group" worked
