No, I mean the attribute is present in the entry and has an equality
matching rule, but that matching rule evaluates to Undefined when
comparing the attribute value with the assertion value.  E.g. if
string preparation (draft-ietf-ldapbis-strprep-xx.txt) fails on the
attribute value or the assertion value.
