Unfortunately I was wrong. I have tested it by forwarding a smbd daemon
which listens on a port, not one that runs in inetd mode. The referenced
version was still broken. The earliest version I tested in the Samba 4
series is samba-4.0.0alpha17 and that is still broken.

I have reported the issue here, it turns out to affect instances running
as non-root user:
