Indeed, I do have some attributes in that section commented out:

OK, I think I understand what is going on here, running the command
'samba-tool domain schemaupgrade' uses 'Schema-Updates.md', but it also
patches the ldifs created with the *.diff files and these contain
attributes that you have removed from 'Schema-Updates.md'. This means
that it is the patching that is failing, so try removing the already
installed attributes from the *.diff files as well.
