I have no clue which version of python-ldap Ubuntu is using. Nor do I 
know whether they applied any patches *they* believe to be necessary 
before packaging it. Could you please try to reproduce the problem with 
a stock python-ldap 2.3.1 built from official source distribution 
against recent OpenLDAP libs 2.3.x?

Another option to track down issues is to turn on debug logging in 
python-ldap and also in the OpenLDAP libs:

ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL,4095)

and

l = ldap.initialize('ldap://yourserver:port',trace_level=2)

Ciao, Michael.
