Perhaps some unfortunate corruption bug, but seeing as OpenLDAP 2.3.43 was released 2008/07/16 there's a good chance you can get the appropriate bug fix just by upgrading. Somebody else has probably already contributed the hard work in the past eight years.
So upgrade to the latest version of OpenLDAP from www.openldap.org, and then any write to the database should write a fresh contextCSN...

If you are stuck in CentOS 5 and want to install a recent OpenLDAP with packages, take a look at http://ltb-project.org/wiki/download#openldap
Yes, Upgrade is going on, but need immediate assistance. How to fix it ? - Sachin

Maybe take a look (by hand) through your slapcat(8) backups to find the most recent known good (perhaps excepting contextCSN) backup. Then delete your corrupt database, and slapadd(8) the known good backup using the -w option. It's all a bit of a parlor trick if your environment is running into a known issue, though, which is the most likely scenario here.
