Right. This is actually really easy to explain: The new call I introduced
in this very patch passes `NULL` as the `dom` parameter (because this is
in a scenario where we do indeed not have a domain to work with):

  if (arg.id == cygheap->user.real_uid)
	    home = cygheap->pg.get_home ((PUSER_INFO_3) NULL,
					 cygheap->user.sid(),
					 NULL, NULL, false);

					 ^^^^
					 this is the `dom` parameter
