Of course, no one is saying for certain that this is the explanation, yet.

It sounds reasonable to me :)

Based on my *very incomplete and possibly wrong* analysis, the problem would be automatically cured by using back-bdb. Also, fixing back-hdb *if it's broken at all* should be possible.

Quite certain this is not the explanation, since syncrepl will call syncrepl_add_glue() whenever it needs to store an entry that doesn't yet have its parent.
