My prefs.local.php on both installations (one working, one not) is as
follows:

<?php
$_prefs['id']['value'] = 'Default Identity';
$_prefs['id']['locked'] = true;
$_prefs['fullname']['hook'] = true;
$_prefs['from_addr']['hook'] = true;
$_prefs['from_addr']['locked'] = true;
$_prefs['default_identity']['locked'] = true;
$_prefs['initial_application']['value'] = 'imp';

So, users only get the "Default Identity"; their fullname and
from_addr are (correctly) set by hooks (the hooks pull those values
out of LDAP).

I have a preauthentication hook which normalizes the username
(hooks.php is also identical on both servers); looking at horde_prefs,
all the "pref_uid" values are consistent.
