Note in nis.schema:

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.1.1.1.0 NAME 'uidNumber'
    DESC 'An integer uniquely identifying a user in an administrative 
domain'
    EQUALITY integerMatch
    SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.27 SINGLE-VALUE )

... there is no ORDERING rule specified, so you can't use >= or <= with 
filters on uidnumber. You'll also want to be aware of:

http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200412/msg00171.html

I've found integer ordering works fine in 2.2.23 with attributes that 
have the ordering rule specified.
