The shadowexpire value now is handled differently on 1.3.5 if I recall.

Instead of being "set" by you to a value, it's now calculated and
derived from the ns password policy. As the account nears expiry, the
values decrements.

When you export the DB with the ldif, you are bypassing the calculation
code, and you get what's stored in the DB.

I hope that helps you see why the values are changing. Your best path
forward is to work on and resolve the password policy configuration of
your system.
