A low entropy pool may be a contributing factor, but something definitely
changed between libnss-ldap 238 and 251.

With libnss-ldap 238-1.2 installed

$ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail; \
  getent passwd user_in_ldap; \
  cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail
3585
passwd entry here
129

So with libnss-ldap 238, you see the same drain on the entropy pool
(from ~3500 down to ~200).

However, you don't experience the same problems with libnss-ldap 238 as you
do with libnss-ldap 251 (mainly everything getting a SIGPIPE with 251).
