The behavior you describe is a bug.  However, I just checked, and
everything seems to work as expected.  We definitely need to see your
exact setup (i.e. the slapd.conf of the proxy); also, we need to know the
exact definition of "unreachable".  For example, I simply added to an
existing configuration a target that points to a non-existent server,
which is unreachable (connect(2) fails).  I didn't check, for example, the
case of a server that results in a hanging connect(2) or so.
