"passwd" actually doesn't mean /etc/passwd, but using getpwnam()
function. That then uses /etc/nsswitch.conf and whatever configuration
to figure out where to look up the users, which may end up using LDAP as
well. Sounds like your system is configured this way, and sounds like
the bug is in the LDAP NSS module.

What OS/distibution is this?
