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.

Luckily the ldap database on this machine is only running in
development mode so it doesn't matter whether it is nuked or not. For a
Lenny->Squeeze upgrade this situation is totally unacceptable so this
needs to be fixed in a way to have the slapcat/sladadd done
automatically or thorough instructions must be presented to the user to
do this manually.

I did not do slapcat/slapadd prior to the upgrade so down slapcat gives
this output every time:
slapcat
hdb_db_open: database "dc=datanom,dc=net": unclean shutdown detected;
attempting recovery.
hdb_db_open: database "dc=datanom,dc=net": recovery skipped in
read-only mode. Run manual recovery if errors are encountered.
