I'm looking at gss_unwrap_resp_integ():

1971         auth->au_rslack = auth->au_verfsize + 2 + 1 + XDR_QUADLEN(mic.len);
1972         auth->au_ralign = auth->au_verfsize + 2;

au_ralign now sets the alignment of the _start_ of the RPC message body.
The MIC comes _after_ the RPC message body for krb5i.

If Ben is off by one quad, that's not the MIC, which is typically 32 octets,
isn't it?

Maybe some variable-length data item in the returned file attributes is missing
an XDR pad.
