Okay, I just tried:

limits dn.exact="uid=cadabra,cn=accounts,dc=stanford,dc=edu" 
time.soft=unlimited time.hard=unlimited size.soft=10 size.hard=10

where "cadabra" is a test account of mine, and I hit the sizelimit 
restriction immediately:

# search result
search: 5
result: 4 Size limit exceeded

# numResponses: 11
# numEntries: 10

So it stopped after returning 10 entries, just like it should.

I then changed the line to:

limits users time.soft=unlimited time.hard=unlimited size.soft=10 
size.hard=10

restarted slapd, and again, hit the same limit:

# search result
search: 5
result: 4 Size limit exceeded

# numResponses: 11
# numEntries: 10

So again, the line worked.

Then, I tried:

limits users time.soft=unlimited time.hard=unlimited size.soft=1 size.hard=1

stopped slapd, restarted, and again, I hit the correct limit:

# search result
search: 5
result: 4 Size limit exceeded

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1



Then, I tried:

limits users time.soft=unlimited time.hard=unlimited size=1

restarted slapd, and again I hit the correct limit:

# search result
search: 5
result: 4 Size limit exceeded

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1


So using OpenLDAP 2.3.24 (not from debian, however), it all works correctly 
for me.
