Samba can't supply the original password. Can this be changed? It

This is probably a bug in the server.  I can't remember if the IETF
password modify draft says that the original password can be omitted
(the server has it anyway, from the BIND operation), but other password
modify extop clients expect to be able to only pass in the new
password.

I would say it's a bug, indeed (from the RFC3602):

--- BEGIN ---
2.  Password Modify Request and Response

  The Password Modify operation is an LDAPv3 Extended Operation
  [RFC2251, Section 4.12] and is identified by the OBJECT IDENTIFIER
  passwdModifyOID.  This section details the syntax of the protocol
  request and response.

  passwdModifyOID OBJECT IDENTIFIER ::= 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.1.11.1

  PasswdModifyRequestValue ::= SEQUENCE {
    userIdentity    [0]  OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
    oldPasswd       [1]  OCTET STRING OPTIONAL
    newPasswd       [2]  OCTET STRING OPTIONAL }
...
The userIdentity field, if present, SHALL contain an octet string
  representation of the user associated with the request.  This string
  may or may not be an LDAPDN [RFC2253].  If no userIdentity field is
  present, the request acts up upon the password of the user currently
  associated with the LDAP session.

  The oldPasswd field, if present, SHALL contain the user's current
  password.
...
--- END ---

As you can see, the oldPasswd is an OPTIONAL ASN.1 attribute. Should I
submit a bug report for this?
Yes, please.

Thanks!
