Deleting and re-adding such DNs to the writemaster can usually fix this up, but sometimes the contextCSNs get out of sync, and then the only practical way to recover is to rebuild the readslaves from a backup taken from the writemaster. Because of this issue I am planning to change to using delta-syncrepl, which does appear to work and not get out of sync in the testing I have done. I believe this is the only solution at the moment.
