My best guess is that winbindd wasn't in a happy state after the upgrade. 'net cache flush' or similar may have helped. That is, I think wbcListUsers() returned 0 entries, which causes other code to think a realloc of length 0 'failed'. wbinfo -u would probably have failed in a similar way, but with a more useful error message.
