It same error here, based on my understanding it only fetch to the /etc/shadow not on the nscd cache (/var/cache/nscd/passwd) where pam_ldap is pointing with. But if I switch user, and login with the same user it will retain the previous desktop during the lock screen (even changing desktop say MATE, GNOME classic upon relogin). Tried with gnome-screensaver and with mate-screensaver same result. Sadly not on the Lock Screen as it generate the following log:
