The key point that seems to be brushed over here is: how is this 'not
UTF8' string in LDAP translated into and from the representation sent
over SAMR (which appears to be UTF16)?

For example, please explain how the values seen in this bug get
translated between each other.  At a first glance, the translation does
indeed appear to be that between UTF16 and UTF8, so if they are not
UTF16 and UTF8 strings, what are they, and what defines the translation?
