I think you (or the instructions) are mixing conf-syntax with config-syntax. IMHO olc* is config-syntax. See "man slapd.conf" vs. "man slapd-config".
The config.ldap file example from the Arch Wiki is almost the same as the one in the EXAMPLES section of the "slapd-config" man page you mentioned. The command is also almost the same — only the argument order is different and that on Arch it is executed as the "ldap" user.
I tried to follow the official guide at https://www.openldap.org/doc/admin26/quickstart.html (starting from point 8., because I installed the package from the Arch Linux repository), but had the same error. The instructions are too very similar to those on Arch Wiki.
Also, I forgot to mention it in the previous message, but I think that the error message not giving any details qualifies as a bug (that's what I meant by that title). "slapadd: could not add entry dn="cn=config" (line=1):"… but why? What is wrong with that entry?
Add -d -1 to the slapadd invocation.
