It would be helpful to describe the steps you took to create/duplicate this

No. 

However, please note that the Google Apps for Education integration allows 
CAS to act as a miniaturized SAML2 identity provider, for deployments that 
may not be prepared to turn on and allow CAS to fully act as a SAML2 
identity provider. This feature is deprecated and is scheduled to be 
removed in the future. It does not make much sense to turn on and use both 
features (Google Apps + SAML2 IDP) in CAS at the same time, as one outranks 
the other and it is likely that using both features in CAS simultaneously 
would interfere with the functionality of both. If you can, consider using 
the SAML2 identity provider functionality in CAS to handle this integration 
as you would any other SAML2 service provider.

Big blue box here:

I am not saying using both at the same time is causing this issue; just 
that if your deployment qualifies for that sort of condition, you're 
inviting additional complexity with no real benefits to your deployment.

Unless your SAML2 SP is asking/forcing CAS to use encrypted NameIDs or 
Transient NameIDs, I don't think this is happening. IIRC, this indication 
will be instructed to CAS via the SP metadata. If you want to see what's 
happening, turn up TRACE logging for org.apereo.cas and comb through the 
logs.
