I am not aware of this problem. I know of at least one site that is using Windows 2000 Citrix with over 200 simultaneous users and they have the user profiles stored in AFS. If things were not working, I'm sure I would have heard screams by now. I do not know if there is something different about Windows 2003 Citrix. The first question I would ask is, "is an authentication request even making it to the AFS Client Service". In the release notes there is a section on debugging. I suggest you capture some trace log output and watch the connections. Also use the SysInternal's FileMon tool and the AFS pioctl debugging to see what happens when you attempt to access the service.
