This is 100% the problem.  In MIT Kerberos you need to create that
principal (and as I understand it, there would have to be some
significant rearchitecturing to support the concept of synthetic
principals as you've described them).  The error is showing up
client-side because the KDC is returning that error to the client
(wouldn't you want it to?)
