In my case $myhostname is unset, meaning fall back to the default of using the fully-qualified domain name from gethostname(), and this has worked in the past for LDAP tables specified in main.cf. If I am understanding you correctly are you saying that only if parameters are explicitly set to a concrete value in main.cf, will this value be available in the LDAP table, the defaults are no longer enough?
