Update: the deletion still happens after I commented out the attrs
line, or changed it to attrs="*,+". I tried to comment out other
options as well, and it seems that after leaving out these options the
problem is gone:

        #filter="(objectClass=*)"
        #scope=sub
        #schemachecking=off

I don't really understand the impact of each; I post it here in case
it might be helpful for someone else.
