So you are doing two mods?  MOD_DELETE and MOD_ADD?   Yeah that won't
work, needs to be MOD_REPLACE

cn=config does behave differently with attributes in the top cn=config
entry.  It's been this way for years, so I'm surprised to see an issue
being raised about it now.  But, basically we stopped filling in the
cn=config entry in dse.ldif with all these config attributes and instead
made them all "invisible defaults". So if the attribute is not changed
after install then trying to delete that attribute will fail.
