how does this compare to kolab/issue732 (outlooks addressbook does not 
directly list entries with openldap)? 

As far as I know, when you search in the address book or the completion
is active, Outlook will use LDAPv3 and show the global addresses from Kolab 
Server's OpenLDAP. For some other occasions Outlook does not seem to use an 
LDAPv3 protocol standard (see the issue for an example).

If you want to help the problem, check in the issue, ask on kolab-devel@
and maybe on the OpenLDAP developers or Microsoft developers levels as well.

Best,
Bernhard
