You are relying on %-expansion in explicitly set ldap attributes? I can see
that for the parameters logon path etc when no explicit attribute is set. But
putting %u into an explicitly set attribute stretches it a bit in particular as
clients also have variables that start with %.

No, I don't think this is right. I would like to slowly but steadily converge
to NT4 behaviour, in particular in migration scenarios you can not go through
the possibly very many users.
