I don't know much about how the daemon parses these configs (not for
lack of documentation - I'm just extra-dense), but through trial and
error I did arrive at a set of configs that is structured slightly
differently and does work for us:

option space LWAPP;
option LWAPP.controller code 241 = array of ip-address;
class "LWAPP" {
  match option vendor-class-identifier;
}
subclass "LWAPP" "Cisco AP c1250" {
  vendor-option-space LWAPP;
  option LWAPP.controller 10.7.7.10;
}
subclass "LWAPP" "Cisco AP c1240" {
  vendor-option-space LWAPP;
  option LWAPP.controller 10.7.7.10;
}
subclass "LWAPP" "Cisco AP c3500" {
  vendor-option-space LWAPP;
  option LWAPP.controller 10.7.7.10;
}

Good luck!
