Yep, and this is stated in the documentation.  /etc/openldap/ldap.conf
is where you define the defaults for the OpenLDAP libraries and
utilities (ldapsearch, ldapmodify, etc...) /etc/ldap.conf is used by the
LDAP PAM and NSS modules.  These do not serve the same purpose and these
should not be linked together,  although that may by happenstance work.

It isn't a "fault" because that's the way it is supposed to be.
