Yes, your are right. It forwards the values of the query. Because I the
attrcount of the query is one.

I'm not sure if we'd be able to know about the inheritance of the attributes
without knowing the used LDAP schema. In that sense Exim is just forwarding
what it sees as the result from the query.

ldapsearch -x <filter> <attr>

may return

<attr1>: <value1>
<attr2>: <value2>

if <attr1>, and <attr2> are derived from <attr>.
