As mentioned, I zeroed out the access log, executed one operation, and saw 
nothing but srch and result and bind operations in the access log.  I don’t 
find a modify or a write warning, and the error log is empty.

I zeroed out the access and error logs in advance.  The error log was empty; 
the access log was nothing but SRCH, BIND, and RESULT entries for my account.  
Nothing about access problems or attempted modifies.
 
A web search for this error message revealed one conversation in Jan 2009 that 
ended with "I fixed my aci and the problem went away".  I haven't knowingly 
changed any acis since install.  At the global level, user may change password. 
 At the userRoot suffix level, user can change password and fine-grained policy 
is enabled.  A password reset by directory manager succeeds and replicates 
around.  Does anyone else recognize this?

Look for this sequence of operations in your directory server access log.
