samba - Jul 2017 - Invalid parameter error

I believe that iXsystems recently patched Samba 4.6 in FreeNAS so that it
can act as an AD DC. https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/23566

As is mentioned here:
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2017-June/209021.html
I imagine that maybe a fix for vanilla FreeBSD is coming soon. As things
stand, if you want to use FreeBSD as an AD DC on ZFS, I believe that
FreeNAS is the only option.

OK, after reading the above link, I am still no wiser just what they
have done to fix it, I also haven't seen any proposed patches on
Samba-technical. It just says resolved without any information on how
it was resolved, just a reference to a branch.

I'm sorry. I probably should have linked their samba fork:
https://github.com/freenas/samba You can look at the commits from around
the time period of the bug report. It looks like quite a lot of work in
./python/samba/provision/
