I just discovered something, ldap-account-manager is using
LDAP_START_TLS_OID.

gq really isn't using TLS for ldap://

So it would appear the triggers are:

* TLS connection.
* only particular users (not sure why).
* not ldapsearch.

Unfortunately, since it only happens with TLS, this may make finding
out more rather difficult.
