I am having some problems with a LDAP passdb authentication on Dovecot. Before I forget, the specs: it's a Ubuntu 7.10 server running Dovecot 1.0.5 connecting to 2 different machines running LDAP servers: gold with OpenLDAP 2.4.19 and extra with OpenLDAP 2.4.9 (extra is a replication slave of gold).
If you can replicate this problem on a test IMAP box pointing to the same two LDAP servers, it might be worth checking whether dovecot-1.2.11 has the same problem. At least, there are more people on this list who would be able to replicate it using current code.
Also, you could try swapping master and slave around in the dovecot-ldap.conf (i.e. try extra first, then gold). You state that the two LDAP databases are clones, but they are running different versions of openldap, so may behave differently.

P.S. Unrelated, but I hope you're aware that Ubuntu 7.10 went out of support on Apr 18th last year? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
