Those two lines are about checking if NetBIOS is disabled in smb.conf, and if
yes, not start nmbd.
If it works reliably for you once you comment those lines, something must fail
on this testparm check.
Could you try running the following (on one of the machines that fail if the
check is enabled):
$ testparm -s --parameter-name='disable netbios' 2>/dev/null
$ echo $?
Also, on the machine that fail to start nmbd at boot, does starting up
nmbd manually after boot (sudo start nmbd) work with an uncommented
prestart script ?
