That's right. The lookup key is not u...@domain, and a bare key is
considered to be a domain part by the LDAP table layer.

Yes, this is documented intended behaviour. See, ldap_table(5):
%[1-9] The patterns %1, %2, ... %9 are replaced by
the corresponding most significant component
of the input key's domain. If the input key
is u...@mail.example.com, then %1 is com, %2
is example and %3 is mail. If the input key
is unqualified or does not have enough
domain components to satisfy all the speci-
fied patterns, the search is suppressed and
returns no results.
