If one assumes the value is a properly encoded directory string
(and I've done the transcoding properly), 0xC4A0 is the UTF-8
encoding of LATIN CAPITAL LETTER G WITH DOT ABOVE (U+0120)
not TILDE (U+007E).  The UTF-8 encoding of TILDE is 0x7E.

But regardless, as the value was represented in valid
LDIFv1, so I don't see any OpenLDAP software bug here.
