The documentation currently says to use the .la file:

Although under linux I've always just used the .so file myself. Getting rid of the .la would require a documentation update and also possibly config changes for everybody who listened to the documentation :).
The admin guide contains examples, is not authoritative, and may not apply to all cases (For example, statically built modules wouldn't work with the config you noted). The manual pages are the authoritative documentation, and they explicitly allow for either the .la or .so files:
moduleload <filename> Specify the name of a dynamically loadable module to load. The filename may be an absolute path name or a simple filename. Non- absolute names are searched for in the directories specified by the modulepath option. This option and the modulepath option are only usable if slapd was compiled with --enable-modules.
