A RDN value with an escaped NULL character (\00) is not handled correctly.
Run the test script attached to bug #438136 with test string 16
('\00\11\22\33').  You will find that an extra CN value is added to the entry
with the unescaped DN form (which leaves the NULL character escaped).  When the
test script renames the entry, the first correct CN value is left around since
it is not considered to match the old RDN.
Here is the output from the test script demonstrating the issue:
Binding with Directory Manager
...Bound...
===========================> Initial entry DN: cn=\00\09\12\1b,dc=test,dc=com
------------------------------------------------------------------------
dn:cn=\00\09\12\1b,dc=test,dc=com
objectClass: top
             person
         sn: Last Name
         cn:
             \00
===========================> Renamed entry DN: cn=WithoutSlash,dc=test,dc=com
------------------------------------------------------------------------
dn:cn=WithoutSlash,dc=test,dc=com
objectClass: top
