Since $HOME/.ldaprc is user-dependent, and Exim is not always
running as a predictable user, not looking there is more like a
feature than a bug.
I don't know whether Exim does this, but Postfix sets the values
of all supported LDAP table options to either the Postfix default
value for that option or to the value explicitly specified by the
administrator.
If Exim behaves similarly, then it would not be surprising if
non-default settings in ldap.conf, ... don't take effect, these
would be replaced by default Exim settings for the options in
question.
Thus .ldaprc options no longer taking effect could be evidence of
Exim option processing finally working correctly.

Your report is very light on detail. Can you describe the tests
you performed in sufficient detail to enable someone else to
reproduce them. Along with each test description can you post the
observed results with the recently patched code and corresponding
results with an older exim release as a basis for comparison.
Include the content of any ldap.conf or .ldaprc files that are
pertinent to the observed results.
