Let me rephrase your info:

As long as you do not logoff, the LDAP address book is working? Regardless 
how often you compose a message? When you relogin and go to preferences -> 
mail -> compose -> address book, the LDAP addressbook is deselected.

Do you have a preference init hook?
What preference storage do you use? Is it working?

Please try this:
0) logon / logoff, so LDAP is deselected
1) get search_sources preference setting
2) logon and select LDAP for searching
3) get search_sources preference setting
4) logoff
5) get search_sources preference setting
6) logon
7) get search_sources preference setting

If you use SQL as backend, look into the database, table horde_prefs; if 
you have configured the external tool, use it:
horde-prefs "path_to_config" "userid" print imp | grep search_sources

If you see no change in the setting in step 3 and 5 in comparision to step 
1, your preference backend is not configured correctly. If there is a 
change 1 (off) -> 3 (on) -> 5 (off again), dunno. If there is a change 5 
(on) -> 7 (off), you have a preference hook that resets the setting.

If you use the stock hook file imp/config/hooks.php and have the hooks 
enabled e.g. with this file:
./prefs.d/10-webmail.php:$_prefs['add_source']['hook'] = true;

the setting resets each time an user logins overwriting any user 
specified setting.
