One thing that I forgot to mention is that our managed clients were cloned from a master image and Lion’s recovery partition is not there. I have come across articles — google “lion guest account disabled” — that lead me to believe that the recovery partition, FileVault 2, and guest accounts are closely tied together in Lion. Again, not sure if this is the way to go but it’s something.

Just wanted to add my name to the list of people having this problem. Mac OS X Server Snow Leopard with bound and managed Lion clients. Unable to enable the guest account on Lion clients from the Snow Leopard Server’s managed client settings. Works fine on Snow Leopard clients. Just started looking into the problem. I’ll let you know if I figure something out.
