To work around this, slapcat could be given an option to honor the rtxnsize setting in slapd.conf/cn=config. [..] It should be noted in the man page section for this option that the value of such a backup is of dubious quality, since it is no longer an exact "point in time" representation of the database but rather a bunch of different "point in times" stitched together into a single file.

Even if slapcat now outputs an exact "point in time" representation of the database this does not say anything about consistency of related LDAP entries anyway.

But I wonder how rtxnsize is supposed to interop with LDAP transactions in 2.5.

There is no interaction. LDAP transactions only affect write ops.
