I'm far from beeing a specialist but this is what is stated in the man page:
             By default, the
             glue  overlay  is  automatically  configured  as the last
             overlay on the superior  backend.


             Its  position  on  the
             backend  can  be  explicitly  configured  by  setting  an
             overlay glue directive  at  the  desired  position.  This
             explicit  configuration is necessary e.g.  when using the
             syncprov overlay, which needs to follow glue in order  to
             work over all of the glued databases. E.g.
                  database bdb
                  suffix dc=example,dc=com
                  ...
                  overlay glue
                  overlay syncprov

So I think you should enable the syncprov overlay on the top db, and add 
the explicit call to the glue overlay _before_ the syncprov one.

My 2 cents.
