AuthorizationContext parameter of ClaimsAuthorizationManager does not contain claims of incomingPrincipal

I'm missing something important in my MVC 4 Application.

I am using passive ws-fed with my ACS.  Works beautifully.

I have a simple Custom ClaimsAuthenticationManager where I do nothing but call the base.Authenticate().  When I set a breakpoint in this method and inspect the incommingPrincipal I can enumerate the Claims collection and see the claims that my ACS issued.

I have a simple Custom ClaimsAuthorizationManager.  I have set a breakpoint in my CheckAccess method.  When I inspect the context.Principal and try to enumerate Claims collection the function times out.  It is trying to read my SQLProvider as in the old way of using a RoleProvider.

BUT...  If I inspect the context.Principal.Identity.ClaimsPrincipal.m_instanceClaims I can enumerate the claims for the identity.  And the context.Principal.Identity.ClaimsPrincipal.Claims collection also enumerates and shows me the claims.

And that seems weird to me.  At first I thought there was some disconnect with context.Principal being of type System.Web.Security.RolePrincipal and context.Principal.Identity.ClaimsPrincipal being of type System.Security.Claims.ClaimsPrincipal.  Except that context.Principal.Claims is calling System.Security.Claims.ClaimsPrincipal.getClaims(), which is the same as context.Principal.Identity.ClaimsPrincipal.Claims.

I have to be missing something simple.
