I don't think it's related because the LDAP server is supposed to send
structured information, already split in fields.

I don't even think the two above are actually bugs, you cannot expect
Evolution to decode the structure of a long personal name, especially
when it involves dealing with the different styles of different
languages. I suppose treating the middle part of a string as the middle
name is the most common situation, especially with English names.

And no, I am non an insensitive English speaker, in fact in Italian the
common surname prefixes 'De' and 'Di' suffer of the same problem. But I
understand the complexity of the issue.
