You say this but...

...here you are talking about specific NIS package versions rather than
a change from sarge to etch. Can you please confirm that the issue you
are seeing manifests when changing distributions rather than being
specifically the result of an upgrade of the nis package?
As I said previously, code from the NIS package is not involved in
reading data from the server for use when logging in so it is very
unlikely that this issue is in the nis package.
