Very interesting!

So, what needs to be done is to fix the syntax handler that is applied
to these values (forward links), so that it is never possible to match
on member= when it is actually a deleted value.  It would be good if
this could be done for the indexes too, but this is not required, as we
always filter with a full ldb_match anyway. 

To change the matching rules, we need to change the schema code to
distinguish the link cases, and to handle them properly.  I've started
to look into it, and I hope to get patch for you in the next few days.
