The advice we give in general is to use the Subject to carry the NameID
with SAML 2.0, which in this particular case isn't subject to the bug,
that's all I meant.

The correct format is, but a quirk of the IdP is that if you want it in
the Subject, you have to attach a String-based encoder to the attribute
definition, so that's a way around it for SAML 2.0 at least. No help with
SAML 1.1, so I'll shut up about it.
