It's water under the bridge but for the archives you did that
backwards. First you configure your SP with a second key and *then*
you introduce a new certificate into metadata.

Did you configure two decryption keys in your SP? My guess is the IdP
used a encryption certificate in metadata that doesn't have a
corresponding decryption key in the SP software.
