Do you have all those object class schemas loaded? – user207421

OK, I added this account to a test box I have nearby. The ONLY thing I had to edit was "postalAddress" since you had it empty. Once this was fixed, the entry added without incident.

Considering the error was OBJECTCLASS related, I doubt the "postalAddress" being empty had anything to do with your problem.

So, knowing that it worked on my end, I'm going to assume perhaps you have an older build of OpenLDAP, and perhaps one of the schema files is either incorrectly edited, OR was missing entirely. This is purely a guess however, considering I cannot reproduce the issue.
