 From what you are describing, it looks like what I have fixed recently
in slapi-nis as side-effect of adding support for trusted domains.

Not sure if Nalin has backported this fix to older versions (slapi-nis
0.48 is in Fedora 19 at this point) but filing a bug against RHEL 6.3
would help in promoting the fix to stable packages.
