I'd say that slaptest should be able to test the configuration prior to putting data in the directory.
If you can find a config that seg faults with a simple one line like
# slaptest -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
you should post it to the ITS -- even if it's a bogus config, it should exit gracefully.
Now, in situations where it makes no sense, then it might be considered a requirement to exist...but there still should be a graceful exit, not a seg fault.

Is it a requirement for the id2entry.bdb file to exist prior to any slap* tools successfully running or would this be a bug?

I get a Segmentation Fault every time I run slaptest or slapindex if I have not yet started slapd (to prompt initial creation of id2entry.bdb in my data directory).
Example:
# /etc/init.d/ldap stop # rm -rf /var/lib/openldap-data/* # rm -rf /etc/openldap/slapd.d && mkdir /etc/openldap/slapd.d
...(modify slapd.conf)...
# slaptest -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf -F /etc/openldap/slapd.d
Seg Faults every time. I even get a seg fault if I simply run the following:
# slaptest -f /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
