I was talking to Brad about this off-list, and apparently there's a change
between the OSP in 4.5.2 and 4.5.3 that breaks things:

    From 4.5 through 4.5.2 Shibboleth IDP worked by virtue of the SAML2
support, but in 4.5.3 it breaks
    from a bug.  Since NAM is their only supported IDP, and the bugI found
is not a problem in NAM, but
    it is a problem with Shibboleth, they are not considering it a bug that
needs to be fixed.
