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! On Sat, Jan 5, 2019 at 4:47 PM K. M.
