I'd hope you'd see these problems almost entirely go away in future with a switch to sssd rather than nss_ldap, as it makes the whole process a lot more stateful and aware of what's going on.
Fear not, Fedora has managed to have that break things for many people too.
I see they just closed the bug with a won't fix, though the fix is known and available.
Having an rc.local that does an nsswitch.conf twiddle is probably a viciously robust way of dealing with this problem...
Unnecessary too. :) See my earlier email.
I might as well give a link to my ldap page, so if anyone else comes across this, they can see the issue mentioned withfix.
