Oh, and that special syntax is a function of ldapadd/ldapmodify, not some standard way of importing images - so using it with slapadd won't work.

Not true. Both slapadd and ldapadd use the same LDIF reading routines; they have since 2.3 was first released. All valid LDIF is accepted identically by both programs.

well, that's a SHOULD in RFC2849, so it is indeed a standard way of importing values (works with any value) using LDIF. The fact it doesn't work with slapadd should be seen as a limitation of that tool, which it is not intended for use with arbitrary LDIF but rather with LDIF produced by slapcat.
