That was one of my first attempts either, but 'email' is actually the
correct default since for some attributes a name translation is in
effect.

Cf. 

 (defvar eudc-ldap-attributes-translation-alist
  '((name . sn)
    (firstname . givenname)
    (email . mail)
    (phone . telephonenumber))
  "Alist mapping EUDC attribute names to LDAP names.")

in eudcb-ldap.el

So no, that isn't it. Again, mentioned function apparently is broken.
