Now, we just found a problem that in Windows AD, users are a member of a group, without being an actual member attribute.
You mean, the primary group is not visible in an LDAP query via the memberOf attribute of the user record? or is there no DN entry for the corresponding group? Or do the members not show up querying the group?

oh, wait... (reading) ...

Um, that should be straight forward. Get a list of the users, query their PrimaryGroupID, store that somewhere (in a hash? :-), see what's in memberOf, get the groupIds of the returned groups and determine the users primary group by comparing their PrimaryGroupId with the groupIds found. Windows AD should be querable (? queryable?) through port 3268 (or 3269 with TLS), I found the service behind the standard port 389 at times unreliable. There could be a maxRows limitation of an LDAP query to AD.
