Regardless, RFC2743 only requires it on the initial context token.

We should probably consider whether we want to RECOMMEND, or even
REQUIRE that that header be added to all security context establishment
tokens, not just the initial one.

But until somebody tables that matter we should not consider
RFC1964/4121 as imposing such a requirement on other mechanism that use
different mechanism OIDs.

That said, there's this interesting question: PKU2U re-uses RFC4121 for
everything following PKU2U's first two security context tokens (which
are KDC messages between the initiator and the acceptor acting as a
pseudo-KDC), so, should those context tokens lifted from RFC4121 bear
this header?

I could go either way.
