Persistent NameID attribute does not appear to be released.

Your resolver defines the attribute as a NameID:
<resolver:AttributeEncoder xsi:type="SAML2StringNameID"
and as Mak pointed out, that is what is released:
<saml2:NameID...>trename01</saml2:NameID>

Both the resolver and the SAML assertion have the "persistent" format as
well.

The name "BeyondTrustUsername" is a convenience for your internal use,
it is not the SAML name of the attribute.

I don't know what Beyond Trust is specifically looking for if not a SAML
NameID
with the right format. I've encountered vendors looking at the
"friendlyName"
instead of the name of the attribute. If that's so in your case, you might
add a "friendlyName" to the SAML attribute definition encoder statement.
