Answering my own question, I've discovered that augeas doesn't support multiple files at all without a custom lens being created to support it. Or to declare it more accurately, augeas only knows about specific files defined in specific locations, it has no concept of a general file in a general location that you might want to apply a lens to. I eventually worked around the issue by making a custom lens copied from the augeas postfix_main.aug lens that listed the extra ldap templates as matching a wildcard, at this point augeas started working correctly. Something else I discovered is that augeas has no error handling of any kind - if it doesn't recognise a file as matching one of the predetermined locations built into the lens, it will silently ignore the file, and not tell you why.
