An implementation can either publish the attribute description as

Note that publication of a schema description only indicates that the
implementation is aware of the description. It does not necessarily
mean that the server implements any particular functionality (other than
the ability to publish schema descriptions).
...still we disagree on that. If consequently applied this paradigm
would render the subschema subentry completely unusable for the client.
IMO the subschema subentry SHOULD reflect what is effective on the
server's side. Otherwise a client cannot find out what to do by looking
at the schema.
I've somewhat solved my problem by also looking whether the referenced
EQUALITY matching rule (here caseIgnoreListMatch) is listed in subschema
subentry's attribute 'matchingRules'. But taking your wording literally
even this wouldn't be guaranteed.
