I suspect it's because earlier the libc name functions have been
initialized to know that there's an LDAP server, and continues to try
to use it after the chroot.  If your libc is going to do that then you
need to provide the things it needs inside its chroot.

sftp just used the system getpwuid and getgrgid, the decision to look
up local files or LDAP (or NIS or ...) and how it behaves is up to the
system libraries.

We've also just added a small cache for the name lookups (bug #1495)
which should also help speed things up (in particular, it'll cache
failures).
