I haven't tried webdav, only smb.

/files_external/uploads/
(empty subdirs)

So all the "important" data seems to be in data/<sAMAccountName> subfolder. However, I don't know why the uploads folder is created.
Note that the "uploads" folder is NOT created under data/<sAMAccountName>/files_external/.

No, I tried to login with totally "new" LDAP users and the result is the same.
I also tried to delete the home folder of an ldap user and logged in again but the result was the same (2 subfolders created).

Thanks,
