Define "configured virutally identically." In what ways do they differ,
exactly? Assuming they're all FreeBSD boxen, were they each built from
the same source tree?

I received no response from freebsd-questions, so I posted to the samba
mailing list (http://lists.samba.org/pipermail/samba/), but received no
response from that list, either. I have been ignoring the problem
(well, that's not entirely accurate---I purchased a Powerbook to replace
my dying Win2k notebook) since I posted, but AFAIK, it hasn't been
resolved.
Based on the description of your configuration, you probably have the
better chance of determining root cause. I currently have many other
priorities, so I will be unable to look into this any deeper until
further notice.
One possible solution would be to upgrade to 3.0.0 (net/samba-devel). I
have yet to do so myself, but I'm hoping that by doing so, cosmic rays
will shine down from the distribution servers and send the issue
hurtling off to /dev/null, at least for the time being. :-)
Best of luck!
