Here is a proposed fix for the issue above:

     retval = encode_krb5_etype_info2((const krb5_etype_info_entry **) entry,
    &scratch);
     if (retval)
    goto cleanup;

I thought this fix would be appropriate as RFC4120 states:

   If ETYPE-INFO2 is sent in an AS-REP, there shall be exactly one
   ETYPE-INFO2-ENTRY, and its etype shall match that of the enc-part in
   the AS-REP.

So using encrypting_key->enctype as the etype arg to
_make_etype_info_entry() seemed reasonable to me.  Note that
encrypting_key->enctype is set in process_as_req() to the enctype in the
AS_REQ:

    encrypting_key.enctype = useenctype;
