Because the Guest account is a 'well known' account, and as such should have a fixed RID. This is enforced via the passdb backend because to do otherwise would have nasty consequences when mapping back and forth between uids and RIDs. (We are working hard to ensure
that there is only one point at which uids and RIDs are mapped, and currently this is in the passdb.)

On a related note, does SAMBA still use the guest account in place of the (unkown) internal user for enumerating shares?

An NT client can not browse a SAMBA server with the guest account disabled, but having a guest account enabled is not required on an NT account to do the same thing.
