Moreover, this bug appears to have already been fixed.  It is
recommended to check the latest version before reporting bugs.

well, that's a SHOULD in RFC2849, so it is indeed a standard way of
importing values (works with any value) using LDIF.  The fact it doesn't
work with slapadd should be seen as a limitation of that tool, which it
is not intended for use with arbitrary LDIF but rather with LDIF
produced by slapcat.
