Problem solved. Still have no idea what was wrong, but removing
passdb.tdb entirely fixed it. I tried removing individual user and
machine accounts before, to no avail.
Possibly something Debian generates is wrong, as it generated the
original passdb.tdb.
Anyway, "rm passdb.tdb" appears to be all that is needed...
