I'm sorry to be blunt, but please tell me
 - exactly on which ldap object
 - exactly the difference between us and Windows

Please do that by showing the comparative output of

 ldbsearch -H ldap://sambadc -s base -b <problem DN> -Uadmin%pass
 ldbsearch -H ldap://windowsdc -s base -b <problem DN> -Uadmin%pass

I'm sorry, but what is clear to you is not clear to me, and the
specifics will help us fix the bug, and write a test to ensure it does
not re-occur. 

On where to post, posting to this list is a good way to have your
concerns lost in the flood of discussion.  While we wait for our first
release, we handle Samba4 AD issues on the samba-technical list to
ensure they are seen and handled.

Thanks,

Andrew Bartlett
