I am wondering if there is some code which prevents libnss_winbind to query the samba database when it is running on a PDC(that is what I am doing and experience the same problem as you) in this way.
I have even temperarily remove ldap(which is needed for the unix uid/gid mapping for samba authentication) and try to adduser. Surprisingly, it fails saying user already exists meaning under this situation, libnss_winbind is doing its job. There is some mentioning of local unix user and winbind on PDC in the release note but I don't know what it is really about. However, to echo you, I see the same problem and I have tried everything (symbolink link, moving the file from /lib to /usr/lib and back etc.) but a simple 'getent passwd' command just don't give me the samba users and adding a new user with the same name in the samba name space does bark. So libnss_winbind is not completely ignored, just under some situation. I may need to browse the code to have some clue. Unfortunately, I found no mentioning of turning on logs for libnss_winbind to trace. I have already filed a bug report but haven't receive any acknowledgement yet.
