just for the record. This is considered solved.
When migrated from OpenLDAP to IPA, inactive user accounts were left out, but
some of the accounts were still in place as secondary group members of a certain
group (mri as example). Nonexistent "member" in
"cn=groups,cn=accounts"
causes the lookup of group name to fail. After the removal of that account, the
lookup succeeds.
In looking at all group membership attributes of the group, it seems that the
removal of a "member" of "cn=groups,cn=accounts" (which is done in
the Web GUI)
does not translate into the removal of "memberUid" of
"cn=groups,cn=accounts",
as well "memberUid" of "cn=groups,cn=compat".
I would guess that the rfc2307 memberuid attributes would be removed/not
migrated and rfc2307bis member attributes would be used instead. But frankly,
you might get a more qualified answer on the freeipa-users list:

It seems that "member" and "memberUid" attributes
are not in sync. Is this
a normal behavior? Another curious situation is that sssd seems to be able to
get the name on some IPA clients not others, as mentioned in my first post...
As mentioned in my reply to the post, it shouldn't be that way and we
need the debug logs to analyze the situation.
