Looks like a bug to me, and that the correct fix is be to delete
that code and let the current back-ldif return an error.

Maybe it could be split out to a separate function which backends can
set be_compare to if they have a be_attribute(), or something like that?

I might, though actually I'm more concerned with failed tests than
fixing ldbm at the moment:-)  Will look later.  However:

There is no correct code as yet, note the bogus logging I mentioned.
