Hmmm. I was hoping someone else would take this one. My experiments didn’t go about it the “official way” like yours, and it was an older version of the applet to boot.
Before I say “real” debugging is needed, can you try 1) reading it on a Debian Linux system, and 2) maybe loading the key/cert with the piv-tool from opensc?
If you need to go farther, there are tools for dumping the USB messages, and it would probably be more productive if you went back to Yubico for support. The guy who wrote the PIV applet for them is Klas Lindfors, I believe. (I can give you his direct email and an introduction if needed.) Please keep me, or this list posted on how you get this resolved.

I assume it still comes blank from the factory, so there would not be any “token" in the “reader" for the software to connect with until you create one. They have some free utilities for the purpose, and there should have been a cheat-sheet in the box telling you how to do it.
