  Can anyone respond to this?  At least to let me know that I am
thinking along the right track?   Is there any expectation that the CA
should be using the subject from the CSR that the customer sends?

I think the "standard model" is that the CA rejects requests until the client sends one that is acceptable to it. Perhaps they are just optimizing this process.

The bottom line is that the CA will sign the things it is willing
to sign, and will not sign the things it is NOT willing to sign,
and there is no way around this.
