Assuming that no objectClass "dummy" exists, that bit of the filter
doesn't pass filter mapping validation, so it cannot be rewritten into an
LDAP filter from the parsed form.  As such, the operation is ignored.  I
realize this is not the expected behavior, so I plan to modify the code
such that UNDEFINED is treated like FALSE (i.e. it gets replaced by
"(!(objectClass=*))"), to obtain a behavior that is consistent with that
of local databases.
