You mean
  c:\Documents and Settings\blahblah-username.DOMAIN

Well, if there is a local user "blahblah-username" and
he logs in as "localPC\blablah-username" he continues
using his old local profile.

If there isn't such a local user and you have set up
the [profiles] share properly, then his profile will
still be without the ".DOMAIN" suffix, but there's no
worry about it. You can't force Windows to use the
domain suffix. If a user name is unique in
C:\Documents and Settings it will be used without 
suffix. But if you for example change the domain name
to "DOMAIN2" then upon a fresh login the users profile 
will be

  c:\Documents and Settings\blahblah-username.DOMAIN2

to differentiate it from the original 
blahblah-username, unless you first remove that profile
before he logs in again in which case it will again be

  c:\Documents and Settings\blahblah-username
