OK, now I'm beginning to see the problem a little better. IMNSHO it is
diradmin that is the problem.

Here's an account example:

dn: uid=person,ou=People,o=workstation,dc=example,dc=net
uid: person
cn: person
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: shadowAccount
shadowLastChange: 12716
shadowMax: 99999
shadowWarning: 7
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 500
gidNumber: 100
homeDirectory: /home/person

Now, before you criticize or suggest alternative objectclasses, you
must  know that I used PADL migration tools to create the ldif files.
And you must also know that gq doesn't have a problem creaing new
accounts with out creating a Object Class Violation.

So I can only presume that it's some hard coding of objectClass into
diradmin that is causing the problem. What I suspect, is that instead
of templating from the existing accounts. Perhaps if I started with no
existing user and group endries in ldap, then it would work fine.
