It is __NOT__ present.  The fact that the value in the entry and that in
the RDN share some characters doesn't mean it's present.  "Jonathan Adams
(with description)" != "Jonathan Adams" both according to
"caseIgnoreMatch" (the dialect LDAP speaks when talking about the "cn"
attributeType) and to plain English (the language we're speaking right
now).

Brackets are just fine, they have no special meaning in DN.
