FWIW, it helped immensely with our IdP, which makes use of several 
scripted attributes.  I remember having a hard time finding details of 
what to do too, but the jist of it is:

- Extract the rhino-V###.jar  (jar -x)
- rm -rf org/mozilla/javascript/optimizer/
- Repack rhino-V###.jar   (jar -c)
- Replace rhino-V### in shibboleth-identityprovider-2.#.#/lib/ with the 
  deoptimized version
- Run the shib installer to rebuild the idp.war file
