Tyler, thanks for beta testing precise, and thanks for the bug report!
Did you also purge 'samba-common' ? If you removed /etc/samba manually without purging samba-common (the package that owns and guarantees the existence of /etc/samba) then dpkg might consider that a conffile removal, and preserve it.
Try purging samba-common and then reinstalling it as well.
If you already did that, then please run
ls -ld /etc /etc/samba
dpkg -S /etc/samba
dpkg -L samba-common
And report back here the results of those.
