Well, yes. In the sense that "LDAP auth won't work at our site" is no interop problem while "it works when clients do it <this way>" is.

My original posting back then was triggered by Netscape Communicator 4.x sending the password as ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1) while using UTF-8 for everything else (even with LDAPv2). Well, that's a long time ago but I can imagine that there are LDAP clients out there which still do it like this and (almost correctly) claim to be LDAPv3 compliant.

Yes. It has led to interop problems.
