The correct way to do this is for winbindd to be able to fully specify UNIX accounts internally (ie. inside it's own equivalent of /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and tdbsam). We used to have this capability in winbindd but it got removed a long time ago (around the early Samba 3.0.x timeframe I recall) as no one made use of it. I've been thinking of resurecting this again at some point. If winbindd is the full controller of local account info then normal RPC tools can change an account name by simply changing the stored "name" property in the database. I'll start thinking about adding this back into winbindd as a "winbindd local accounts" option. Probably would do it differently from the earlier implementation now though :-).
