The LDAP dissector has this comment at the beginning of its file:
/*
* This is not a complete implementation. It doesn't handle the full version 3,
more specifically,
* it handles only the commands of version 2, but any additional
characteristics of the ver3 command are supported.
* It's also missing extensible search filters.
*
*/
So, it appears that the dissector does not handle the full LDAPv3 spec.
