There is nothing wrong. The chain overlay is derived from back-ldap,
that is, only attributes unknown to back-ldap, are specific to chain
overlay.  
ldapsearch [-Y external -H ldapi:///]-b "cn=subschema" -s base + | grep
-A4 'olcLDAPConfig'
will show the missing attributes. But as man slapo-chain(5) mentions,
an extension of chain- will distinguish from other configuration
parameters. If this applies to cn=config related attributes I don't
know, as I don't have a chained replication setup. Others may answer
to this.
