Custom user creation template onchange not working

Question

I'm trying to create a custom new user template that includes all the object classes and fields that I need, but for some reason, the onchange autoFills have all stopped working. I have no issue with them on the generic templates.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE template SYSTEM "template.dtd">

<template>
<askcontainer>1</askcontainer>
<description>New User Account</description>
<icon>ldap-user.png</icon>
<invalid>0</invalid>
<rdn>uid</rdn>
<regexp>^ou=People,dc=example,c=com</regexp>
<title>Custom: User Account</title>
<visible>1</visible>

<objectClasses>
<objectClass id="inetOrgPerson"></objectClass>
<objectClass id="posixAccount"></objectClass>
<objectClass id="shadowAccount"></objectClass>
<objectClass id="postfixUser"></objectClass>
</objectClasses>

    <post>=php.PasswordEncrypt(%enc%;%userPassword%)</post>

</attributes>

</template>

I tried commenting out the <regexp> tag, which got the first couple of attributes' onchanges to work, but further attempts to get any of the others working lead to failure again, and reverting back to the partially working version had all of them failing.

The wiki doco on templates is a bit lacking in detail, with no information about cascading onChange entries being problematic.
