I can confirm this. While this setup doesn't seem too common, it's certainly a 
valid and supported one.
This needs to be adressed on the slapd side, so reassigning this.

The suggested fix (adduser openldap sasl) is quite simple, won't cause any 
regressions, but does give the slapd process some more priviledges.
However, giving daemons access to /etc/sasldb2 is what the "sasl" group is 
_for_, after all.

An alternative might be to force use of saslauthd, provide an
configuration upgrade path, test thoroughly,and document that direct
access to sasldb2 is no longer supported,

I'd really recommend the former, though. :)

** Changed in: openldap2.3 (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: cyrus-sasl2 => openldap2.3
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed
