It may not resolve this issue, but since several replication related
fixes were introduced, you'd probably be better off using it anyway, to
avoid future issues, once you get your config working.

You may be running into the issue described in a note just below that quote:

In your original message, you state that you launch slapd using:
root@ubuntu:~# /usr/sbin/slapd -d 16384

I suggest adding "-h ldap://192.168.139.10"; (and .11 respectively) to 
that. This way, slapd can know which server is 'self', and which are others.
