Hi Mbah!
The behavior you describe below looks very much like a bug to me. I was
able to reproduce something comparable with the person object class.
Therefore I ask you to file an issue at JIRA.
Another thing: Probably you know it, but if you use jndi.properties like
described here,
http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/tutorial/beyond/env/source.html
it is not necessary to read the settings manually.
Greetings from Hamburg,

Please start a new thread when you change the topic.
Schema checking should prevent this if it is enabled and by default it
is in ApacheDS. If it's not doing that then we have a bug.
