I admit that I don't fully understand your issue. It would probably help if
you provide an LDIF export of the two entries.

Note that = is one of the DN special chars which must be escaped to be part of
a RDN value in the DN string representation (see RFC 4514). The accompanying
attribute values should only contain the unescaped value.

Ciao, Michael.
