I can only imagine this failing in two places: either a wrong value is  
passed to the last_login preference (unlikely). This happens in  
lib/Horde/Auth.php in setAuth(), and you could easily track this.
Or the writing to the ldap server fails in this single case, or more  
precisely: when writing the prefs to the server, it doesn't pick up  
the change last_login preference. This happens in  
lib/Horde/Prefs/ldap.php in store(). It's a bit harder to track down  
because the method is run during the script shutdown.
