I just upgraded to 2.4.26 and have the same problem.. :(

slaptest -d 64 -u -f /local/etc/openldap/proxy/slapd.conf
...
line 436 (pcacheTemplate (!(uid=)) 0 900)
/local/etc/openldap/proxy/slapd.conf: line 436: unable to parse template: AttributeDescription contains inappropriate characters.
slaptest: bad configuration file!

That's not the filter I want, I'm just simplifying to root out the
problem.  If I remove the negative assertion, then slaptest works fine,
e.g. the following is OK

line 436 (pcacheTemplate (uid=) 0 900)
