So, it's not an ldapadd(1) bug but a JNDI bug (or one in your
JNDI application).

The client is sending a malformed LDAP Add Request PDU.
The client generated PDU includes two versions of the
same attribute in violation of the protocol and its data
model.  The client should be fixed.

Yes, we fixed a number of bugs which unintentionally
allowed non-standard behavior.
