Let me point out my non-technical, management-like point of view to this:

For my company it would have been a discussable way to put Ubuntu LTS with paid support to a row of our Desktops. But with this issue it is a complete nogo...
Rating this as a "high" issue isn't going far enough, for enterprises this is a major blocker aka. showstopper.
I would have thought that this would be the utmost interest for Canonical, 'cause supportcontracts is what their business is build upon.

I'm not technically skilled to point to a solution for this and I respect the licensing problem and that nobody wants multiple sets of ldap client libraries. All I want to say is: There must be a solution to this kind of issues to get enterprises to buy support for Ubuntu.
