The UUID is required to identify a user anyway. And we need a solution 
that works everywhere.

For ownCloud 5 it too late to get enhancements into it, [showstopper] 
bugs only, because we are about to release.

You can patch it yourself by replacing
the line 
https://github.com/owncloud/core/blob/master/apps/user_ldap/lib/access.php#L317
with
$intname = $isUser ? $this->sanitizeUsername($this->readAttribute($dn, 
'uid')) : $this->sanitizeUsername($ldapname);

and file a feature request on https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues so 
we can get it into OC 6 (or maybe even in a maintenance release of the 5 
series)

Hope this helps,

Cheers
Arthur
