After a bit of playing around, it appears the root cause was that I'm using the accesslog overlay which necessitates having another database under /var/lib/ldap/accesslog. The migration process backed up everything under /var/lib/ldap to /var/backups then re-created /var/lib/ldap - but didn't created the "accesslog" directory under it. As a result the attempt to restore the database (presumably with slapadd) failed. After I recreated the /var/lib/ldap/accesslog directory (with appropriate ownership of openldap:openldap), the database restored successfully.
