FWIW we're running 2.3.30 on RHAS4 with delta-syncrepl from a master to 
3 slaves. We had issues with logpurge before about 2.3.25, so I wrote a 
small shell script to purge the entries at midnight, in anticipation of 
the problem being fixed in the end. Around 2.3.27 I noticed that the 
script wasn't outputting, but the entries were getting purged anyway, so 
logpurge was working.

Our format in slapd.conf is slightly different from yours:
logpurge        02:00:00 24:00

After a mass update, the logfiles in the changelog directory get huge, 
so when it's working, you'd best keep an eye on these.

Best,
