I already
figured out myself how to reproduce the issue you're having, so you don't
need to rebuild yet.  You'll have to as soon as the issue is fixed.
Try this patch:
ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/pierangelo-masarati-2010-04-29-chain.1.patch
It removes the offending check.  I don't quite remember the reason (it
dates 4.5 years ago).  However, I've checked and all tests pass fine,
including the one you pointed out.  To reproduce, I modified test022 to
write the configuration on disk (-F option to consumer slapd); at the end
of the test, I tried slapd on the resulting database.  Fails with
2.4.22/HEAD, succeeds with this patch.
Please test and report.
p.
Sure, will do that now and report back.  Thanks.
