What is "password-hash" set to in slapd.conf on the server?
I think there is a bug with "password-hash {CRYPT}", if you use this
you can try "password-hash {SSHA}" for now, or (probably better)
encrypt the password locally and change it using ldapmodify (or
ldapvi, etc).

That's expected for salted hashes.

It won't necessarily help, but you should always mention versions (or
dates if building from source) of any relevant software and what machine
architecture you use in any problem report.
