Hmm, but then the problem of the original poster is that the matching 
rule applied to an attribute value (based on your rule above) has 
nothing to with the normalization of the entry's RDN.
Because he was asking about memberUid=steves vs. memberUid=Steves which 
are two different entries in his data (based on caseExactIA5Match) but 
are treated as the same entry in FDS.

(Nevertheless he should get his data fixed for various reasons.)

Ciao, Michael.
