The difference between AD and other LDAP servers is that AD uses an email address format for username, while others usually don't. In DSpace, this is configured using netid_email_domain (e.g. @netid_email_domain = example.com) which is then appended to netid (so in this case email is not taken from an LDAP attribute) to form the email address that DSpace uses as username.
It's quite difficult to test all the possible configurations. You fix one thing, some other configuration breaks... and if you can't test that configuration, it's a problem.
