Bug #462169 is about nmbd startup, not smbd startup. Please attach the /etc/smb.conf and /var/log/samba/log.smbd from this system, so we can see exactly what's happening on your system. By default, smbd should start up without error before the interfaces are available, and attach to them when they become available.
