Wireshark has the wrong name for padata type 16; it should be
PA-PK-AS_REQ.  But that isn't your problem.

I'm not sure what is wrong.  If you are using a sufficiently recent
version of MIT krb5, you can get some additional information from the
library by setting the KRB5_TRACE environment variable to point to a
file, running your program, and then examining the file.  You can get
even more information by rebuilding the PKINIT sources with -DDEBUG, but
that takes a lot more work.
