Interesting, you've found a bug that has been present since syncrepl's code was first written in 2003. The syncrepl code assumes that it will only receive LDAP entries from the provider. But according to RFC4533, references are supposed to be sent as-is and stored by the consumer. The syncprov overlay obeys the spec and sends references correctly.
FIxed now in HEAD.
