I agree.

BTW, if this were a GSS mech we might have a single mech OID for the
entire {enctype, PAKE, group} negotiation (but not second factor), and
for an IANA registry where one each of three arms of the OID
correspond to enctype, PAKE, group.

Here that would mean that the client advertises multiple PAs, and
would get us into the business of having a registry.

What you propose is fine.
