I hope the enhancement I submitted recently will make it to CVS soon which
will handle this.  Once this patch is applied, you need to add

ldap_filter: (uid=%U%R)

to your config.  %R is the same is @%r except that '@' is omitted when
%r (realm/domain) is not available.

If you cannot wait for the CVS update, I can email you the patch.
