Which version of samba-common-bin is that?

I was about to close this bug right away because you didn't
specify a version. But I'd give it a try anyway.

The thing is that the libpopt is bundled with samba sources, and
current samba in debian unstable (4.16.6+dfsg-3) already has the
necessary fixes for it.  There should be, in theory, no issues with
the fixed/new libpopt.

I just tested that one with current libpopt, - it works as expected
here.
