What version of OpenLDAP are you running? What are your ACL's?  What is the 
schema definition of mailAlternateAddress?

I assume it is:

attributetype ( 1.3.6.1.4.1.7914.1.2.1.4 NAME 'mailAlternateAddress'
	SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
	DESC 'Secondary (alias) mailaddresses for the same user'
	EQUALITY caseIgnoreIA5Match
	SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.26 )


which allows it to have both substr and eq matching.
