Just an FYI - I tried this without removing the X500Principal and it didn't work.  I think because I reverted the " shibboleth.PostLoginSubjectCanonicalizationFlows" list back to the distribution where c14n/x500 comes before c14n/simple and since the x500 principal was there, the canonicalization process stopped after setting that the x500 principal name.  So I guess to make this work, I would have to either remove the existing X500Principal like I originally was, or make the c14n/simple flow execute first.

Also - JIRA issue created.  I hope its sufficient.
