It's a feature, not a bug.  Just like filter (title=foo) will match
attribute "title;lang-en: foo".  See RFC 4511 section 4.5.1.7, which
refers to matches of "the attribute type or subtype".

Similarly, if 'name' is listed as one of the attributes to be returned,
'middleName' will be returned.  And cn, sn, title, givenName.
