You had entries that violated the LDAP standard, and 2.2 apparently does
more error checking than 2.1:

The entry needs an object class which allows attribute 'c', or you must
remove 'c'.  I'm not sure if there is a suitable object class in
etc/openldap/schema/.  nadf.schema has 'nationalObject' which requires
'c', but I wonder what that class is supposed to mean.  Anyway,
you could use it, or create your own (after getting your own OIDs,
see the schema faq <http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/219.html>).
