There is no special handling. Assuming outbound is SAML 2 POST: I used
the unit tests to confirm correct output when it's a "/":
<input type="hidden" name="RelayState" value="/"/>
(which is the HTML-encoded form, as expected).
Also confirmed that the SAML 2 Redirect decoder doesn't lose it. If
this isn't a Shib SP, it's possible that they have a bug and are using
an incorrect parameter name (wrong case, etc) and so the decoder isn't
picking it up.
Otherwise, I don't see how this could happen. If you still think this
to be the case, I would need to see the actual inbound redirect binding
URL (e.g. from Firefox LiveHeaders) and the form that's being sent
outbound (turn off Javascript in your browser and examine/save the web
page HTML).
