This has indeed nothing to do with #569837. This is a new bug that only occurs for samba 3.6 packages. Samba should be compiled with the newly introduced --with-nmbdsocketdir configure option to set this to /var/run/samba (we'll switch to /run later on). I'm therefore opening a new (release critical) bug for this and I'll fix it ASAP. Thanks for your report, Thomas. I indeed didn't notice that myself.
