Hmm... perhaps the problem is adding new attributes as a tuple. Here is
a snippet from actual working code:

    sambaAttributes = deepcopy(newAttributes)
    sambaAttributes['objectClass'].append('sambaSAMAccount')
    sambaSID = domainSID + "-" + str(int(uidNumber) * 2 + 1000)
    sambaAttributes['sambaSID'] = sambaSID
    sambaAttributes['sambaAcctFlags'] = '[UX]'
    modlist = ldap.modlist.modifyModlist(newAttributes, sambaAttributes)
    self._conn.modify_s(userdn, modlist)

As you can see, the new attributes are just strings. That really
*shouldn't* make a difference though. ... oh wait. I think I see a
problem here:

> list(newattrs['objectClass']).append('ipHost')

This is creating a new copy of newattrs['objectClass'] and appending the
new objectClass to that list. You don't need the list() call at all, in
fact you need to not use list().
