Okay, thanks.

I'd love to know how it got into this state, though.

The idea of tampering with a potentially corrupt AD scares me; I think 
perhaps I'm going to snapshot the domain controllers before I do it!

    Error: First line of ldif must be a dn not 'dnsRecord'

I get this even if I'm editing a seemingly valid DNS record.

The broken record is:

Now you have identified what the records, you should be able to remove
the required records with samba-tool, for instance, if you wanted to
remove the record for ' HAWAII', try this:

samba-tool dns delete 127.0.0.1 _msdcs.chester-dc.example.com
_ldap._tcp.dc SRV  'HAWAII.chester-dc.example.com 389 0 100'
