Well, then you simply have a broken TLS server setup, no?
Why should the client go to lengths to avoid tripping over this?

Most LDAP clients set to enforce LDAP+StartTLS or LDAPs will not be
able to tolerate that, so fixing your servers and/or DNS resoution for
these and/or certs (e.g what Ryan just suggested) and/or load balancer
would be spending your time more wisely, IMHO.
