I think you are know hitting this bug:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9500

Sorry, but I don't know of a way past this.

Yes, you're right. Actually we didn't alter FQDN but netbios name. If
AD structure treat them in same way, it won't matter anyway.

It seems we will delay migrating to Samba for now. Situation may change
if we consider dealing with the consequences of provision of the domain
from scratch.
