OK, so val is NULL in ldb_msg_add_value().  It comes from this line
insource4/dsdb/samdb/ldb_modules/repl_meta_data.c:

ret = ldb_msg_add_value(msg, strlower_talloc(tmp_ctx, rdn_name),
new_rdn_value, &el);

i.e. new_rdn_value is NULL.

new_rdn_value is set just above that:

		/* work out what the new rdn value is, for updating the
		   rDN and name fields */
		new_rdn_value = ldb_dn_get_rdn_val(new_dn);

and ldb_dn_get_rdn_val() does this:

const struct ldb_val *ldb_dn_get_rdn_val(struct ldb_dn *dn)
{
	if ( ! ldb_dn_validate(dn)) {
		return NULL;
	}
	if (dn->comp_num == 0) return NULL;
	return &dn->components[0].value;
}

So it seems there should be a check after calling ldb_dn_get_rdn_val()
to see if it returned NULL, or else the NULL value should be handled
in ldb_msg_add_value().
