The design of slapo-rwm(5) is based on: do things as correct as possible, but don't be too clever. What you mean makes sense; however, in most cases when slapo-rwm(5) is needed there are chances data has some quirk. So I'd leave an option whether or not to require strict normalization (this option could be per instance, or even per mapping rule). In fact, slapo-rwm(5) needs to be tolerant about cases where nothing is known about the source data, and mapping is sort of a hack.
Ok, I will rework the stuff to have the possibility to enable/disable normalization.
After having been disturbed by other things I found some time now to rework my patch to allow normalization of unknown mapped attribute types. The normalization step can be enabled/disabled via the "rwm-normalize-mapped-attrs" keyword in slapd.conf. Updates for the rwm-manpage will follow shortly.
