Yes, that is the bugger.
using "ldap_bind = yes" within this context gives that error.

passdb ldap { passdb_use_worker = yes passdb_ldap_filter = ... fields { ... } }

HI
if you put the bind password back in the configuration and take out the ldap_bind = yes or set it to no in the passdb ldap config, does that go back to working again? If so is the error message about userpassword still produced?
