Please do *not* use /etc/init.d scripts. You *must* use "service <name> <action>"

Yes, because this process forks into the background. You would expect it to go
away.

That log shows a clean slapd shutdown, not a termination or crash.
What happens if you use the ansible service module with -vvvv IE:
- name: Start dirsrv
sudo: yes
action: service enabled=yes state=restarted
Have you got any esoteric arguments in say /etc/sysconfig/dirsrv? Are you adding
extra cli args like -d 0 to ns-slapd? (That would certainly break it ... ).
Are you running your ansible playbooks at sudo? Trying to start ns-slapd without
privileges would cause issues.
Can you see anything in /var/log/messages?
When you use ansible to control ipa rather than dirsrv directly, does that have
the same issue?
I think the issue is not with dirsrv at all, but with your ansible environment
and how you are trying to start / stop the services....
