Probably the latter....i.e. turn off Windoze Firewall *before* you remove the machine from the domain.

Wez, What happened, yesterday I removed this PC from a domain (remotely using RealVNC) and at the same time I also changed the priority of networks in "advanced network settings". After rebooting it I could not log in the workstation with RealVNC. (This was the time when I "cried out loud" for help assuming that the priority change caused RealVNC not "riding the waves" of the NIC card that it used to.) So, I had get up from my fictitious "lazy boy" and actually walk to the PC. THEN I noticed, that the window of "Windows Security Settings" was up notifying what part of it was not working. I got suspicious and opened the XP Firewall settings and realized that all custom settings were gone. Basically what I learned from this, that if you remove an XP/sp2 workstation from a domain, the XP firewall looses all custom settings, so don't do this remotely with the Firewall on, unless either a) you have somebody there to add ReaVNC to the firewall after restarting the PC or b) maybe (I have not tested it), you have to turn Windows firewall off before you remove the PC from a domain REMOTELY.
