This is not an OpenLDAP bug. The schema definitions for these attributes come from the LDAP RFCs (4519 in this case). You're welcome to submit a proposed revision to the IETF if you want the specs updated. In the meantime, your best approach is to define your own attributes that specify the matching rules you desire.
