Looking at the Samba bugzilla for samba 3.4 this bug:
https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7019
is relevant, but those upper case addmachine work rounds did not work
here. I cant see any mention of this problem 3.5 release notes so a
backport wont fix.
Right now it would appear that Windows 7 simply cant join a Samba 3
domain.

It still works for us here, with latest fully patched Windows7 and
samba from backports. You did mention the article on wiki.samba.org in
your original post, but I was following
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681622(WS.10).aspx from
Microsoft when setting our Windows 7 machines, and it only mentions
DomainCompatibilityMode and DNSNameResolutionRequired registry keys.
(I'm sure you've double-checked they're still set?)
