Yes.  The wording was meant to deal with search specific
URL extensions.  However, I concur the wording is a little
ambiguous and URL extensions are address by following
sentences.  Hence, I suggest replacing the paragraph with:

  In cases where the URI to be returned is a LDAP URL, the server
  SHOULD trim any present scope, filter, or attribute list from the
  URI before returning it.  Critical extensions MUST NOT be trimmed
  or modified.  Other parts MAY be modified or trimmed.
