Doesn't that depend on what any authdata plugin at the KDC might need to 
do with any authdata in the evidence ticket when processing the 
S4U2proxy TGS?
Such authdata in the evidence ticket could be something which the KDC 
would be in a position to verify in the principal database and issue a 
fresh copy.
But it could also be that the KDC had to trust the authdata in the 
evidence ticket at copy that information into the issued ticket.
In that case, you would need to protect against a service inserting 
authdata from another ticket into the evidence ticket.
