Thank you for your explicative answer.

What I did was:
- stop slapd.
- edit the schema file under slapd.d/cn=config/cn=schema
- start slapd

and the problem went away.

Now that you mention the necessity of dump/reload after attribute
definition change, I wonder if my data is corrupted in some way.
