[SmartcardServices-Users] OS X 10.9 (10.10) Smart Card Logon But No PKINIT

Hate to drag up stuff from the past, but I wonder if this was ever figured out?
I'm looking at the same basic situation. I can do cacloginconfig based smart card login under 10.10.3, but I don't get a kerberos TGT for the user, and no options that I toss at kinit seem to enable it to do a pkinit.

Here is what I have:
Gemalto smart card, being correctly recognized and read by the system. I can see the "keychain", the certificate on board has the correct eku for smart card login, and it shows as trusted. Root certificates for AD are installed. Cacloginconfig.plist points to the right attributes. I can go to the login window, insert the card, put in my pin, and login, but no kerberos ticket is generated.

If I run kinit -C KEYCHAIN: -D KEYCHAIN: --windows --pk-enterprise 
I get the result: kinit: krb5_pk_enterprise_certs: Failed to find PKINIT certificate: Certificate not found
Thinking that maybe this is a search path issue, and those trailing : after KEYCHAIN seems to indicate its some sort of path separator, I tried the following:

Run security list-keychains. Copy "smart card keychain" name. 
run kinit -C KEYCHAIN:"smart card keychain name" -D KEYCHAIN: --windows --pk-enterprise 
Result: kinit: krb5_pk_enterprise_certs: PK-INIT cert didn't contain principal SAN

Now, the certificate I'm trying to use DOES have a SAN, so I don't know if this is further confusing things, or helping and showing the next error in the chain.

I think I've tried every possible combination of documented switches in kinit, but I can't seem to get any further.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

(I suggest Debian with the OpenSC card drivers if someone wants to try.) If nothing else the error messages might be clearer, and you could write a better bug report for Apple.
