OK, but I just want to be clear - I'm still not.    Does that mean that
I need to nuke /var/lib/ldap on every master replica prior to restoring
the DIT?

Yes.

Or I should say, depends on what you've done. If all masters are in a "bad" state (which would be likely given your test scenario), then yes, you want to reload them all from the same slapcat dump that was taken, so their DBs are identical after restore.
