We have several similar systems in production.

If you add

  ldap_member_attribute: cn

to your config, it should work.  Certainly something very similar works
on our Lenny/amd64 2.3.14++ builds:

auth_mech:              pts
pts_module:             ldap
ptscache_timeout:       60
ptloader_sock:          /srv/imap/var/run/cyrus/socket/ptsock
ldap_uri:               ldapi:///var/run/ldapi \
                        ldaps://ldap3.this-site.client.com \
                        ldaps://ldap2.this-site.client.com \
                        ldaps://ldap4.this-site.client.com \
                        ldaps://ldap1.this-site.client.com
ldap_tls_cacert_file:   /etc/ssl/certs/client-ca.pem
ldap_tls_check_peer:    yes
ldap_base:              dc=client,dc=com
ldap_group_base:        dc=client,dc=com
ldap_member_base:       dc=client,dc=com
ldap_sasl:              no
ldap_bind_dn:           cn=this-cyrus,ou=agents,dc=client,dc=com
ldap_password:          verylongrandomstring
ldap_filter:
(|(&(objectclass=gosaMailAccount)(gosaMailServer=imap.client.com)(uid=%u))(&(objectclass=simpleSecurityObject)(cn=%u)(|(cn=cyrus)(cn=spamteach))))
ldap_group_filter:      (&(objectclass=posixGroup)(cn=%u))
ldap_member_method:     filter
ldap_member_filter:     (&(objectclass=posixGroup)(memberUid=%u))
ldap_member_attribute:  cn
# size limit determines the max number of groups a user may be
# in before authentication fails
ldap_size_limit:        1024
ldap_external_ids:      mupdate.client.com fe1.client.com \
                        fe2.client.com feN.client.com \
                        be1.client.com be2.client.com \
                        beN.client.com

Yes.  It would be nice when someone has time to make the configuration
of pts_ldap more similar to other things likely to be using the same
data (eg pam/nss/samba as well as saslauthd).
