I haven't yet verified that this is the source of your problems, but the
patch you included breaks all systems where you don't have "ldap delete dn
= yes", because we will try to delete all the attributes rather than the
entire dn, and you can _never_ delete an operation attribute.

This patch as submitted must not be included until the code is modified to
handle not deleting certain attributes.
