I had been reloading the DB, but I reloaded both the main and the
accesslog DB. I should note that neither of the DBs were loaded from
LDIF that had contextCSNs (although they definitely did have entryCSNs).
It is possible that the problem might have stemmed from a slapd segfault
segfault that occured at one point yesterday:
slapd[28896]: segfault at 0000000000000364 rip 000000005583dd89 rsp 00000000aa03c71c error 4
I only saw the above segfault later on the console of the server,
after I'd already restarted the master slapd. When I restarted the
master slapd I did notice that it was doing an autorecovery of the BDB.
Unfortunately I don't have any further information about the segfault.
At any rate, since then I've rebuilt 2.3.21 with the patches that Quanah
pointed me to and I've made sure that my contextCSNs for the main DB,
the accesslog and the replicas all agree. So far it's all running
without a hitch (now I just need to start doing some load testing).

Hah! :)
Thanks for your insights.
