Stefan, OK, thanks for the explanation!
However, if I add another user to another partition (e.g., I just manually created and entry for uid=foobar, o=sevenSeas), I can change the password through Studio. So it is perhaps some special processing with uid=admin, since it (presumably) always has to have a password (?), so perhaps ... just guessing here ... the delete is failing? Again, just guessing, since I'm not sure why I can use Studio to change other (non-admin) user passwords. Anyway, worst case, I can edit the LDIF file. I just thought it was odd to run into this, especially after a fresh install.
