You may have to edit the list config by hand, although I was able to use 
the web config, if I remember correctly. Here is the relevant part of a 
list config, that works just fine here with the patch I sent:

include_ldap_2level_query
select2 all
scope2 base
suffix2 [attrs1]
suffix1 ou=Groups,dc=your-domain,dc=com
attrs1 uniquemember
user cn=your ldap proxy user
select1 all
filter2 (objectClass=person)
timeout1 30
ssl_ciphers ALL
name your_sympa_data_source_name
attrs2 mail,displayName
scope1 one
host your.ldap.host
use_ssl no
passwd your_proxy_user_pwd_
filter1 (&(objectClass=groupOfUniqueNames) (cn=Your-ldap-group-name))
timeout2 30
ssl_version sslv2


The idea is, that you have a group 
(cn=Your-ldap-group-name,ou=Groups,dc=your-domain,dc=com) that contains 
the dn-s of the members (uniquemember attr), so the first query gives 
you a list of dn-s. The second query looks for those users, and returns 
what you define in attrs2: mail,displayname

If I remember correctly you shouldn't use a space in the web config for 
attrs2, i.e: mail,displayName and NOT mail, displayName
