I note that this code has been present in syncprov, unchanged, for quite a 
long time (throughout 2.3 to current):
     if ( op->ors_deref & LDAP_DEREF_SEARCHING ) {
         send_ldap_error( op, rs, LDAP_PROTOCOL_ERROR, "illegal value for 
derefAliases" );
         return rs->sr_err;
     }

which would prevent syncprov from chasing aliases during a search. As such, I 
think you need provide a test case that illustrates the problem.
