What version was being migrated from (i.e., what version of BDB was
openldap linked against?).  If it was prior to BDB 4.8, then you have to
do a slapcat/slapadd of the database (I assume that's already being
done), but before that, it is critical to completely checkpoint the
database via db_recover (one of the steps taken above).

I think this is the key question. Apparently the db-tools cannot handle
a migration from <= 4.7 to 4.8 in which case the only reliable way to
do this is slapcat/slapadd.

Correct, it is never possible to use db-tools to upgrade OpenLDAP Databases across BDB versions. The only method is slapcat/slapadd. I'd also note that BDB 4.8 versions prior to 4.8.30 are not reliable and should be avoided (Not sure what's in debian atm).
