I'm not sure what they mean by "V2" there isn't a PKCS#12 V2 AFAIK. There were
various revisions of the standard and OpenSSL should be compatible with them
all. The latest version on RSA's site is listed as "Version 1.0".

The MAC iteration count was added quite late on in the original spec which is
what I suggested trying -nomaciter.

If you can get DCM to produce a sample PKCS#12 file see if OpenSSL can parse
it.
