We don't have such an interop problem, no.

The rpcsec_gss APIs in Solaris don't work that way, so you have to rely
on KDC flags.

Even if the rpcsec_gss APIs were better designed, since we're talking
GSS we'd need extensions in order to be able to observe the INITIAL
flag.  Can we do that with name attributes?
