The basic problem is that the filter mappings in the web.xml are wrong. I 
must have broken this when trying to fix some other merge order problem.

The correct order is:

Caller page
PreCASFilter
CAS Gateway Filter
CAS Filter
Login check

The CAS Filter is configured to return the correct value for 
request.getRemoteUser.

I'll have to look again at how the web.xml merging works (or doesn't).

This is the way I have done it in the past - but it isn't documented with 
the contrib readme.

By the way, rather than edit the source files directly it is better to 
create a 'custom' tree and use the build process to combine those with the 
standard files. This way your changes won't be overwritten when the next 
version is released. The QuickStart custom-grouper-ui can be used as a 
template.
