I've edebugged it further. It appears the problem is in the function
ldap-search-internal, which is always returns a list, the car of which is the
symbol 'nil. That is if there's no match, it returns '(nil). If there is a
match (or multiple) it returns '(nil (match1) (match2)) and so on.
A fix that works for me is this trivial patch:

(message "Parsing results... %d" numres)
(1+ numres))
(message "Parsing results... done")
- (nreverse result)))))
+ (cdr (nreverse result))))))
(provide 'ldap)
The downside of this patch is that if there is no match, there is no obvious
feedback to the user. I thought about only removing the initial nil if the
length is greater than 1 but that breaks looping on a search over multiple
attributes.
Thanks,
