The relatively minor behavior change to krb5_rd_req_decoded is fine because it hasn't been a public API since 1.2.2. The behavior change isn't visible through krb5_rd_req. I will also add some notes to http://k5wiki.kerberos.org/wiki/Cleanups on hygienic changes we might make based on the analysis I did while looking at this issue.
