I'm maintaining that package, I do want to keep it running on OI as 
well, so it's good to know it's working there.

It might be a Samba configuration issue, but before trying on a 
Samba-specific list, we can surely dig here first :-)
Can you post the output of:

ldd -v /opt/csw/sbin/smbd /opt/csw/sbin/nmbd /opt/csw/sbin/winbindd

ps -edf | egrep 'smbd|nmbd|winbind'

Also, do you have any log on the AD side about the try, and how it looked?

While it s probably not hurting, I think that's not a good idea, and 
should not be needed in any case.
