As it is written there, "Replacing attribute values is always done with a

work-around potential issues with attributes for which no EQUALITY
matching rule are defined in the server's subschema. This works
correctly in most situations but rarely fails with some LDAP servers
implementing (schema) checks on transient state entry during processing
the modify operation."

And this strategy would work just fine, because it deletes all values before doing the add. It's essentially what the REPLACE op does anyway.
