Yup, that was it.  Different case in parent DNs.  This:

cn=Barbara Jensen,ou=Information Technology Division,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
cn=Barbara Jensen,ou=information technology division,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

Not sure what the right fix is.  ldif_back_modrdn() receives
op->orr_modlist already filled in with the cn="James A Jones 1" change.
Just use the awk variant to sort the attribute values in
tests/scripts/acfilter.sh?

What happens with syncrepl between two servers that do not spell DNs the
same - e.g. syncrepl from BDB to a backend which stores just the
normalized DN?
