In case you're programming for different LDAP servers it's good to catch
empty passwords at the client-side anyway and not rely on server-side
features.

Better consult LDAP link farms. After doing several years of LDAP
consulting I can't remember how I learned it. ;-)

But IMHO you're on the right track. Programming a LDAP client and
carefully examining the results different LDAP server products are
producing is probably the best you can do. That's how web2ldap
started... :-)
