from access and error log files it seems that bind is tried first, no anonymous 
lookup, and fails. I've used barbato as Bind DN in thunderbird ...same behavior 
if I try osx (10.9.1) Contacts app.

error.log 
[20/Jan/2014:08:27:44 +0100] pam_passthru-plugin - Bind DN [barbato] is invalid 
or not found
[20/Jan/2014:08:27:44 +0100] pam_passthru-plugin - <= handled (error 32 - No 
such object)

access.log[20/Jan/2014:08:27:44 +0100] conn=1 fd=64 slot=64 SSL connection from 
150.178.3.7 to 192.168.60.23
[20/Jan/2014:08:27:44 +0100] conn=1 op=0 BIND dn="barbato" method=128 version=3
[20/Jan/2014:08:27:44 +0100] conn=1 op=0 RESULT err=32 tag=97 nentries=0 etime=0

So I thing Rich was right ...check syntax is tried first, and it's not possible 
rewrite bind dn before syntax check.

Paolo.
