I tend to agree that there's probably something non-obvious going on
here outside of Safari, perhaps specifically with something SN is doing.

But I'd also note that if it is a Safari problem, I think it would
actually only break things and cause a problem for SPs that are
*signing* AuthnRequests using the Redirect binding.  That's not the
norm, and so that is likely not a huge pool of problem candidates to
start out with.  And then: not all Mac users use Safari; not all users
have upgraded yet; etc.  So I wouldn't rule out Safari as the culprit
just yet, based on lack of reports.
