It's actually a bug in /usr/share/snmp/mibs/NET-SNMP-EXAMPLES-MIB.txt !
This is what it is:
netSnmpExampleString OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
But it should actually be:
netSnmpExampleString OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX SnmpAdminString
MAX-ACCESS read-write
STATUS current
If I fix it the problem goes away.
Thanks for all your help!
