I think it should be julie.o\\\'reilly in there. Have to check why.

But I think your client (PHP webmail with automatic slashing
enabled?) is sending the initial \ here. Try logging in manually with telnet to make sure.

The previous log output is with me telnetting in manually, however the webmail software (roundcube) produces the same results.

That's weird. I'll try to reproduce it tomorrow. I don't have a
working LDAP server setup currently though. Ubuntu slapd config looks
weird.
