Probably, we'd need a means to recognize searches with base="" and scope="base" that are actually directed to the context entry of a database rooted at "". This could be, say, the manageDSAit control (unless manageDSAit on a search for the rootDSE already has some specific meaning), or a specific control. This would probably solve your problem, and work for OpenLDAP-only setups. However, it would defeat the purpose of using push syncrepl with other vendors' products.
I'm not currently aware of another vendor that supports rooting the DB at "". Certainly OpenDS and Fedora DS don't. Maybe apache does?
