I made a few changes, highlighted in the since-v18 diff:

I've anchored this as qr/^t$/ so we don't accidentally match a stray
"t" in some larger string.

$query and $expected need to be given as named parameters. We also lost
the stderr check from the previous version of the test, so I added
expected_stderr to connect_ok().

These tests don't run yet inside the TODO block, but I've put the
expected_stderr parameter at the end of the list for them.

Rebased on top of your patch as v19, attached. (v17 disappeared into
the ether somewhere, I think. :D)

Now that it's easy to add log_like to existing tests, I fleshed out the
LDAP tests with a few more cases. They don't add code coverage, but
they pin the desired behavior for a few more types of LDAP auth.
