Well, the current ldap-sync draft requires that an entryUUID be sent 
with references, and we can only do that if the referral entry is 
provided. If there is no referral entry (e.g., for a default referral or 
some other items configured in slapd.conf) then there's nothing we can 
do besides send an invalid response, at which point the consumer will 
probably fail. But this really indicates a misconfiguration somewhere 
anyway.
