I believe I've got it after a trawl through the Samba source. chmod 0660 /etc/smbpasswd # i.e. 0600 root root seems to do the trick. I can now join a domain as "admin", since admin is in group root and can now write to the smbpasswd file. As root and admin are the only members of the root group, this should be fine.
