I am sorry but I don't have a patch and, as I am on holiday out of home from tomorrow, I won't work on it before mid-august. And I don't know very well the Samba coding practice concerning portability. But, if it is not done when I'm back, I send you a patch.
Basically, I would run the command via smbrun(), connected to a pipe(), with anything from stderr going to the smbd log. The first line of stdout would contain the result. An empty stdout would mean that the username cannot be mapped (like for autofs executable maps). We also have two choices for the 'username map' parameter when 'username map script' is set : either it is ignored, or it is parsed after the script, but only if the script didn't return anything. Up to you.
