The issue the bug addresses may not, but the bug itself certainly does.

Recall that my original question was whether or not Samba 4.6 would
ever be supported on FreeBSD-11+; not when will it be supported or why
is it not supported.  Which was a somewhat passive way of asking if
any progress had been made on resolving the underlying issue.  As I
understand the situation the Samba team's point of view is that this
is a problem for the FreeBSD team to address.  For now we a running
Samba 4.3 which is mostly satisfactory.

I had exactly the same provisioning problem with 4.5 and 4.4.  The
last version of Samba that provisioned successfully for me on
FreeBSD-11 was 4.3.
