fella,
I have not heard about Sakai, nor do I have experience with Moodle.

As per syncronisation of data:
The data is usually fed from a central HR system (e.g. SAP, Oracle HR, 
etc) and used to populate the LDAP server and the LMS (only with the 
relevant data). So .. yes .. you have distinct tables, but keeping them 
in sync is not a problem, as long as you have some for of UID, usually 
generated by the master of the data, which lets you syncronise the data.

not sure this helps,
