It seems like this wan't an error in the handling of the setuid bit after all. It seems like the EUID is reset to UID after getpwnam is called. Attaching a simple test program. Compile and change the owner to root and set the setuid bit.

Expected output:
EUID0: 0, EUID1: 0

On systems with broken LDAP support (EUID1 will be set to the UID of the process):
EUID0: 0, EUID1: 1000
