I just saw that there were changes in bconfig.c from HEAD to address 
this issue. Unfortunately that still doesn't work correctly for 
back-dbd. I assume that this is because backend_startup_one() and 
bdb_db_open() gets called before the suffix and the directory 
attributes are known.

The following entry causes slapd to crash in bdb_db_open() now:

dn: olcDatabase=bdb,cn=config
objectClass: olcDatabaseConfig
objectClass: olcBdbConfig
olcSuffix: dc=example,dc=com
olcRootDN: cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
olcRootPW: secret
olcDbDirectory: /var/lib/ldap
olcDatabase: bdb
