I note your code treats:
   1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=#04024869,O=Test,C=GB
as
   1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=\04\02Hi,O=Test,C=GB

These are not equivalent.  That is, the RDN
1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=#04024869 can be represented
as 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.0=Hi.  This is because later
RDN value is the BER encoding of the value, the
former is the hex escaped encoding of the value.

I suggest you don't to muck with BER encoded values.
