At the very least it is weird behaviour. I don't expect any NSS module would return useful information. It could be a compat lookup thing but I thought it only worked on "+" entries, not "*" and those entries are only supported in flat files (/etc/passwd, /etc/shadow). If you could track it down I would be very interested to know why some application would do that. If this is some kind of standard use of the API I'm not aware of perhaps that would be an argument to change the behaviour of nslcd. Running nslcd in debug mode will show application pids that perform the request, that will probably help in tracking it down.
