from slapd debian script source it is told that utf8 would broke the ldi output (talking about root dn , though i guess it is just that openldap does not support utf8 out of the box right now). Though i am pretty confident that slapd/lbdm or bdb support utf8 i would not swear that the ldiff scripts does ... have you checked the upstream site ? openldap is not finished yet so the rfc may not be the best source (i won't ).
