I'm afraid it's the latter.

The entry dc=stanford,dc=edu needs to contain the AVA
that's used in its rdn, so dc=stanford.  This is the
meaning of the message.  Note that the message has been
changed a number of times in order to get as
self-explanatory as possible.  I guess there's still
room for improvements ...

Note that the entry you tried to add also had
a problem: dcObject is auxiliary, so you need
also a structural objectclass (e.g. organization, with

dn: dc=edu
objectClass: dcOjbect
objectClass: organization
dc: edu
o: Educational

Of course you need a backend configured to hold
"dc=edu" or "" as suffix.
