If there is also a difference in the output of getent passwd that could
also be a problem. At least there is a difference with pam_unix.

It could also be something else. If you have a program that logs a
little more information on authentication failures that would be easier
to debug.

Comparing output of nslcd -d with the failed and sucesful logins could
also be useful. As a last resort you could also look at the output of
  strace su - username
but know that your (partial) password could be in the output in plain
text.
