But are you actually creating and supporting eduPersonPrimaryAffiliation in your resolver?

It may be incompete but it has nothing to do with your attribute release unless you're deploying the filter plugin that uses that metadata (your example did not).
Of course if you did deploy that plugin, that could well prevent the release.
Personally, I think no vendor should use that attribute anyway. The concept of "primary" is pretty meaningless and is best avoided IMHO. It might make sense for searching, but not authorization.
