Because if you're using nss_ldap, a lot more goes wrong than your X session remaining unlocked when the LDAP server disappears; local mail delivery (if any), cronjobs, and many other processes will fail, and things as simple as a directory listing will hang for long periods of time while trying to reach the LDAP server.

Otherwise, you've already given any attacker a window of opportunity while your machine has been left unattended -- the fact that the window is potentially larger due to this bug is not release-critical.
