samba - Nov 2004 - %macros not expanded in ldap attributes?

samba-3.0.8

Are the % macros not expanded in LDAP attributes? For example,
the following is the only way sambaProfilePath works:
\\SERVER\share\path

If I substitute sambaProfilePath with, say, \\%L\%U\path, then
it doesn't work anymore, although the same string works with logon path
in smb.conf.
