I can confirm that this would break in the manner described if you patch
xmltooling but NOT opensaml with the related fix.

It sounds like the opensaml patch and the SP rebuild didn't make it in yet.
My apologies if this wasn't clear to the packagers or if I caused a problem
with the way the fix was implemented.
