I think the main concern is sanitizing the Referred-Token-Binding-ID and Sec-Provided-Token-Binding-ID headers rather than the original Sec-Token-Binding header.

The concern is if the TTP is not properly configured an attacker could send the 
Referred-Token-Binding-ID and Sec-Provided-Token-Binding-ID headers directly to bypass security.

At the F2F a number of suggestions were made around how to prevent/detect misconfiguration of one of a set of TTP that is not configured to sanitize those headders.
