Sounds like a messed up index i.e. when you wiped the database/subtree,
it didn't wipe the uid.db4 index file. However, if you initialized the
database again by importing an LDIF file (e.g. by ldif2db, not
ldapmodify -a), it should have wiped out the old index as well.

Right, because there is only 1 real entry, it's just that there are two
different uid values in the index pointing to your 1 real entry.
