I have a slightly different problem but possibly with the same cause. (using 12.04 with all updates) If two accounts of the same name exist in two domains, no matter what is domain specified either via aaa\user or entering workgroup as aaa, it always uses one of the domains. i.e. specifying bbb\user still authenticates as aaa\user. An account which only exists in one domain seems to work as expected.

When I try to connect to a Windows Server with Active Directory on it I enter my information in the respective fields like so: Username: user Domain: foo Password: **** but it will then fail to authenticate and reprompt for the password. When enter the same information like so: Username: foo\user Domain: <any random information> Password: **** I am able to authenticate with no problem. This leads me to believe that gvfs is not using the Domain field to send the domain to the server.
