Shade,
The openid-test page is pretty old, from what I heard from Janrain a few
months ago.  Can you verify whether this behavior holds true on their recent
demo RPs such as
http://openidenabled.com/ruby-openid/trunk/examples/consumer ?

If so, please file a bug with them.  The relevant section of the spec is
OpenID 2.0 section 7.2 bullet 3.
