This is not a supported way of editing the configuration. It can be 
modified online with ldapmodify like my earlier example, or offline 
using slapcat/slapadd (see http://serverfault.com/a/618178 for an 
example of the latter).

I can't explain this. It may be a bug or misconfiguration in your 
Softerra tool. For me, even after editing cn=module{0}.ldif directly 
like you did and starting slapd, the live schema as queried by

ldapsearch -H ldapi:// -QY EXTERNAL -LLL -s base -b cn=schema,cn=config

or

ldapsearch -x -LLL -s base -b cn=Subschema +

does contain the olcSyncProvConfig object class.

thanks,
