I'm going to reply to myself, after several more hours of digging, I
discovered that although it wasn't true at the time I posted the above
question, eventually, as with the original post from Lachlan Musicman
<https://lists.fedorahosted.org/archives/users/46343247263810572257541459042951629750/>,
the WebUI died, and that meant no self-service for the rest of the team.
And that made it into an emergency.

So, I fired up my LDAP editor (I've been using JXWorkBench) and went to
eradicate all the traces of the failed replica.  Which fixed the issue; and
I'm fairly sure there aren't any lingering effects.  I think.

But this was the first time I've used the editor to actual effect any
changes to things; and I'm going to post the underlying question that
raised in a new thread...

This seems to have bitten at least a few of us; I'd be happy to know how to
file a bug if there's a useful contribution there.  Thanks!
