The matched values has already been sent off for last call, and
includes an appropriate note. I believe you should do likewise. Here
is the matched values text
This control acts independently of other LDAP controls such as
server
side sorting [10] and duplicate entries [7]. However, there might be
interactions between this control and other controls so that a
different set of Search Result Entries are returned, or the entries
are returned in a different order, depending upon the sequencing of
this control and other controls in the LDAP request. For example,
with server side sorting, if sorting is done first, and value return
filtering second, the set of Search Results may appear to be in the
wrong order since the value filtering may remove the attribute
values
upon which the ordering was done. (The sorting document specifies
that entries without any sort key attribute values should be treated
as coming after all other attribute values.) Similarly with duplicate
entries, if duplication is performed before value filtering, the set
of Search Result Entries may contain identical duplicate entries,
each with an empty set of attribute values, because the value
filtering removed the attribute values that were used to duplicate
the results.
