I think I've had a similar issue when upgrading to some 1.5 release I believe
and switch the kdc database to sqlite in /etc/krb5.conf

[kdc]
    database = {
        dbname = sqlite:/var/db/heimdal/heimdal
    }

helped me to make it work.

If there is some mismatch between kdc/kadmin defaults it was there earlier.
