Are you sure your describing this correctly. When I built my replica, 
initially, I could see that groups were synchronized (I could search for 
groups and I could see the members), but the memberof attributes of 
individual user entries was not available in the replica server. These 
are not synchronized by default, you must enable the plug-in to generate 
the entries.

# > ldapmodify -x -W -D "cn=Directory Manager"
dn: cn=MemberOf Plugin,cn=plugins,cn=config
changetype: modify
replace: nsslapd-pluginEnabled
nsslapd-pluginEnabled: on

I've also seen the memberof entries disappear after performing an 
"ipa-replica-manage init replicaserver". This was much harder to 
address. I performed a lookup of the ipausers group members, stripped 
the entries down to just the uid and then ran then through a script that 
removed each entry and re-added them to the ipausers group, which forced 
the plug-in to recreate all memberof entries on all accounts. (Thank god 
I didn't have to do that on all the groups.)

There are two member related plugins now a freeipa one and a 389 plugin. 
Not sure if they are stepping on each other or not.
