Rather than experimenting, I went ahead with Plan "B": I backed up the
userRoot instance to ldif, uninstalled the old directory server,
reinstalled it (on the same machine), stopped it, imported the ldif
backup, and restarted the server.

It all took less than 30 minutes, and worked perfectly.

I am very grateful for your guidance on this issue.
