New 389-ds-console version 1.2.2 fixes several bugs around handling of LDAPv3 escapes in DNs and DN valued attributes. I've already updated the packages in Fedora. I've already updated the spec and sources for EL-4 and EL-5. I could commit and build these if granted commit access. I have applied for commit access but not approved yet.
There is now 389-ds-console 1.2.3 - use this instead of 1.2.2
