And which Access-Accept would this be referring to? The problem here
is that there can be multiple authentication runs (re-authentication
based on supplicant request or authenticator policy) and should the
supplicant change its identity, the second Access-Accept is likely to
have a different identity in that case.

While it may be reasonable to arbitrarily decide to use User-Name (if
present) from the first Access-Accept, it does  not sound like that
good of an idea for a RADIUS server to depend on this behavior based
on current RADIUS RFCs.
