I did notice that it isn't listed in the manpage. Here are the relevant parts 
from liblber/encode.c.

/* N tag */
static ber_tag_t lber_int_null = 0;

        case 'n':   /* null */
            rc = ber_put_null( ber, ber->ber_tag );
            break;

        case 'N':   /* Debug NULL */
            if( lber_int_null != 0 ) {
                /* Insert NULL to ensure peer ignores unknown tags */
                rc = ber_put_null( ber, lber_int_null );
            } else {
                rc = 0;
            }
            break;

So it seems that 'N' doesn't add anything to the packet (which is what I saw 
in the packet traces). I've also tested this patch with Samba 3.0.28a, but 
with the same version of OpenLDAP.

Perhaps someone could test this patch to see if it works in a different setup.
