OK, Samba 3.4.5, as shipped with Lucid (2:3.4.5~dfsg-2ubuntu1) solves
the roaming profile problem, more or less.  Windows is very picky about
the precise permissions of the profile folder.  The permissions on the
profile folders were drwx-wx---.  This worked fine for fully patched
Windows XP SP3 clients and Samba 3.0.2, but no longer works with Samba
3.4.x and the same clients, giving the "windows can't load roaming
profile" error messages described previously.  Changing the permissions
on the profile folder to drwx------ solves the problem.  Note that this
is NOT the same problem encountered with Samba 3.4.0.  For this version,
the on shipping with Karmic AMD64 Server, one can create a new profile
from scratch and it will give the "window's can't load roaming profile"
error message the next time the user tries to log in.  I've attached the
latest smb.conf file, which is not much different from the original
(also attached).
