I am almost 99.9% sure that your problem is the Microsoft bug.   If the
service is running and "nbtstat -n" reports "AFS <20>" registered on the
loopback adapter and "nbtstat -S" reports "AFS" listening but there
are no connections to it, then you are experiencing the Microsoft bug.

As for the "openafs.org" being reported in Network->AFS and nothing else
I would like to see a dump of the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\CurrentControlSet\Services\TransarcAFSDaemon\Parameters
key and the %windir%\temp\afsd_init.log file.

Please open a ticket for the issue at openafs-bugs@openafs.org
and provide a path to the data.  It can be somewhere in an afs
cell.
