Just for the record:

My reported problem was actually not the LDO1/bypass situation, but an issue in 
the process of resolving the regulator supplies.

It was resolved by
   commit 0debed5b117d ("regulator: core: Fix resolve supply lookup issue")

Now everything seems to work with my setup with LDO1 supplied by a fixed 
regulator and LDO1 acting in bypass mode on our hardware.
