So is it an ERROR level message or a DEBUG level? If it only shows up
when you turn on DEBUG logging likely the latter, so not an error.

Also I'm not sure whether you're saying everthing works fine (and you
can ultimately log in to the SP) or whether there's a functional
problem. If there is. how exactly does it manifest itself?

The IdP will use endpoints for the SP with bindings it supports itself
and from the authentication request from the SP (validated via SAML
metadata).
The idp-audit.log and idp-process.log will tell you whether any
protocol messages are SAML1 or SAML2.
I think the SP's authentication request should also be in the IdP logs
on DEBUG. Either way, you can also grab it from the webbrowser in
transit. That is easiest using Mozilla Firefox and SAML tracer
extension, which will highlight messages it thinks contain SAML
protocol messages and will decode and reformat them for you.
