For example, if you list the attributes in the pilotPerson you will find
mobileTelephoneNumber but if you create an object that contains
objectclass pilotPerson and set a value for mobileTelephoneNumber and
then search for the object it is returned as "mobile". This is not very
helpful if you are trying to create an application that allows a user to
fill in these values.

Which is the "correct" value and why aren't they the same? Also what do
other people do about this "strangeness"?

Both are correct:
attributetype ( 0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.41
NAME ( 'mobile' 'mobileTelephoneNumber' )
EQUALITY telephoneNumberMatch
SUBSTR telephoneNumberSubstringsMatch
SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.50 )
The NAME of an attribute type can have multiple values. Implementations generally use the first one in the list when returning AttributeValueAssertions.
