Since the structuralObjectClass attribute is supposed to have a very special meaning for the DSA (RFC 4512), just adding it as a user attribute seems to me quite a broken approach. Provided you're running a decent version of OpenLDAP, you should be able to filter out undesired attributes from the replication process. For example, in slapd.conf (from slapd.conf(5) man page of OpenLDAP 2.3, but the feature exists since OpenLDAP 2.1, I think)

replica [...]
    attr!=structuralObjectClass

will prevent slurpd from replicating the negated attribute list.

Just for the records: a custom patch in this sense was developed by SysNet back in the old times of OpenLDAP 2.0 exactly for the purpose of replicating an OpenLDAP server to a proprietary LDAP server that didn't like many operational attributes slurpd was willing to push in. It also provided partial subtree replication capabilities.

A similar patch was prepared in the meanwhile by Symas and the two merged into OpenLDAP 2.1.
