When I encountered this problem, I was able (with the help of this list) to 
track it back to a lack of validations in the schema_init.c source 
code.  It seems that anything there which is missing an appropriate 
validation function will not properly function.  To fix this, I made the 
following modifications against the code.  Please note that this was 
submitted in the bug system, and Kurt replied that he purposely did not 
want to do this (use the DN validation for uniqueMember).  Your mileage may 
vary, but it appears to be working well for us,
