This is because your context entry has no DN, it's a glue entry. When 
you do a search on it you get the contents of the server rootDSE instead 
of your glue entry. The search works on the provider because the 
syncprov overlay intercepts searches to insert the current contextCSN 
value in the result. You can add a syncprov overlay to the consumer to 
get the same effect.
