You likely have a DEREF set in your ldap.conf(5) or .ldaprc file
causing the default override.  1.2 likely ignored the DEREF flag,
hence the difference.

-a affects alias handling, no referral handling.  Do you have any
aliases in your directory?  Are you using the suffixAlias directive
in your slapd.conf?  Do you have multiple suffixes associated with
the database?

I don't have enough info to even attempt to reproduce.  Please
help us help you by providing details.

And details from your slapd.conf!
