Hello Sebastian,
I don't think the issue is in ldapsearch (but that's easy to test, just
look at data in wireshark or `ldapsearch -d-1` or same in slapd logs to
see what was sent).

If it really happens all the time with the config you last provided,
even after making the changes that I suggested (not loading the extra
modules), then please prepare a small self-contained set up that we can
use to reproduce the issue. Given that I've been unable to do so based
on what's been provided so far, there must be a detail that's missing
that makes all the difference and honestly I'm not sure where else to
look.

Regards,
