Track the target parameter and then the RelayState. Assuming default
settings, the relay state is tracked in memory with no cookies involved,
so that eliminates various potential problems and is a simple matter of
tracking that the relay state is properly preserved and sent to the IdP
and back.

It's not chopping the path, either, it's just losing the state. Then it
lands you at homeURL or in its absence the vhost root. If you set homeURL
explicitly, that will change where it defaults to.
