delegation in IDP3

So this is a mystery:

I'm assuming that you are running the latest IdP...

All I can suggest right now is to turn on trace logging for
net.shibboleth.ext.spring.util 

<logger name="net.shibboleth.ext.spring.util" level="TRACE"/>

You should then see in your log:

TRACE [net.shibboleth.ext.spring.util.BaseSpringNamespaceHandler:112] -
Attempting to find parser for element of type:
{urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:relying-party:saml}SAML2SSOSProfile

But if it is followed by 

TRACE [net.shibboleth.ext.spring.util.BaseSpringNamespaceHandler:119] -
Attempting to find parser with element name:
{urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:relying-party}ProfileConfiguration

And then the log segment you gave, then there is something very very weird
going on.
