Toltec connector duplicates appointment attendees

Hi all,
while evaluating the Toltec connector and Toltec LDAP address book for
Outlook I found a puzzling behaviour...
I created two users "Test 1 Benutzer" and "Test 2 Benutzer", both
accepting invitations automatically. Invitations are sent from "Test 1
Benutzer" to "Test 2 Benutzer", taking the latter from the LDAP address
book.
If I configure the LDAP address book to show names as "First Last",
everything works fine. However, setting it to display names as "Last,
First" (which results in "Benutzer, Test 2" for the example above), the
"accept" message will create a /second/ user in the appointment object
in IMAP:
<attendee>
<display-name>Benutzer, Test 2</display-name>
<smtp-address>test2 at my-company.com</smtp-address>
<status>none</status>
<request-response>true</request-response>
<role>required</role>
</attendee>
<attendee>
<display-name>Test 2 Benutzer</display-name>
<smtp-address>test2 at my-company.com</smtp-address>
<status>accepted</status>
<request-response>true</request-response>
<role>optional</role>
</attendee>
The first entry was the original one, and the second has been added. I
checked the vcalendar message produced automatically, and it contains
only "ATTENDEE;PARTSTAT=ACCEPTED:MAILTO:test2 at my-company.com".
I'm not sure whether Toltec or Outlook or Kolab is the source of the
bug, but it is somewhat annoying... Any idea how it could be fixed?
Thanks, Albrecht.
