working LDAP server setup currently though. Ubuntu slapd config looks
weird. Works fine here with the current v1.1 hg (but I don't remember having done any fixes related to LDAP for a long time):

• OK Dovecot ready. x login "a'b" pass x OK Logged in.

Also I'm a bit surprised that I've managed to get escaping working with all special LDAP characters without having it tested before:

imap-login: Login: user=, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured

I wonder if the OP has a character set or encoding issue?

My dovecot package has a dependency on libiconv-1.11_1. Could that have something to do with it?

No. You have several extra \ characters in the logs and they just shouldn't be there unless the client sent them. Set auth_debug_passwords=yes and paste the full logs when logging in? (Use a password that isn't important.)

That doesn't look any different...
