I've no idea the version of BDB - how would I find this out ?
You also fail to note your checkpoint parameter in slapd.conf.
There doesn't seem to be a checkpoint setting in either slapd.conf or the DB_CONFIG file.
Should there be ?
Also, rather than manually deleting logs, you can set BDB up to do it for you. See the various options that can be set in DB_CONFIG.
Yes, this can be specified with DB_LOG_AUTO_REMOVE but I wish to backup the log files before I remove them which is why I wish to do this manually.
It seems that after running "slapd_db_checkpoint -1" and placing a checkpoint I can then run "slapd_db_archive -a" and get returned all the redundant log files - hooray !
Quite how these used to get returned (and they did) without a checkpoint directive either in slapd.conf or DB_CONFIG I'm not sure.
I plan to add a "txn_checkpoint" entry to DB_CONFIG immediately :-)
Thanks.

You only need to place one in slapd.conf. Glad it is working again!

Check out what version of the BDB libraries OpenLDAP is linked against.
I would note that OpenLDAP 2.3.28 is particularly ancient. The final OpenLDAP 2.3 release was 2.3.43, and OpenLDAP stable is currently 2.4.16.
