Yes, it works with LDAP maps.  What kind of error are you getting?

Make sure to use the ` back-tick character. Your above example shows
' single quotes; not the same!

If your virtual_alias_maps entry contains some kind of $redirection, eg.
virtual_alias_maps = $maptype:$mapdir/virtual.cf
you'll have to expand the $stuff by hand.

it's worked as documented for me, as long as i can remember.

consult the following reference material included with the software:

postmap(1)
ldap_table(5)
LDAP_README

wherein syntax and multiple literal examples are provided.

beyond that, share actual input and output of the command[s] you are running, 
as well as the contents of your lookup map file.  obfuscate any credentials.

I found a way to test the expansion of normal .db maps:

postmap -q testuser 'postconf -h virtual_alias_maps'

however, it doesn't seem to work with LDAP maps. Is there a way to test
those as well?
