Just further to this, if you then go and set the AD home path (Profile -> Local path) to something, and look again in WGM, that value overwrites the value you had before. AD Users and Computers happily lets you spec a POSIX path in this field, and again that path appears in WGM – and upon startup, your home folder is on the alternate partition. IOW from this point on it appears to use your windows profile path regardless of which tool you use to set the value, and looks very much like it would work fine for mac-only (or almost-mac-only) users.
My working hypothesis is that it does appear that WGM is just putting the posix path to the home folder into the right record of AD, but AD Users and Computers for some reason was not displaying anything until after that field was modified inside AD Users & Computers. That’s of course not *super* plausible and there could be other explanations …
If anyone actually knows, and could even point to some documentation (which would mean Apple are at least trying not to break this in the future), that would be swell
