Debian Edu uses GOsa² to manage user accounts, systems and groups. Adding a system via GOsa² to the (BDB) LDAP database succeeds, using ldapvi one can see the entries in LDAP.

Thanks for the info. I'll install Debian Edu and try it. I assume "rebooting the system" means the server running slapd, and not the system that was just added to the directory, right?
For testing I switched from systemd to sysvinit: same effect, same workarounds succeed to keep newly added data. One difference, though: under sysvinit there is no proper slapd stop during shutdown.
I don't experience this, either. Another thing to check once I have Debian Edu installed.
