I've not seen or encountered this kind of issue before, so I'm not sure what is 
the correct course of action here. I think generally in my experience we see 
password policies only applied to subtrees or databases rather than globally.

It also depends where your replication manager is - generally we see them as 
"cn=replication manager,cn=config" rather than being "in the database". Can you 
confirm the FQDN of your replication manager that was affected here?
