Thanks Phil.

I found this recent patch added to 2.x, regarding inner-MSCHAP broken:
https://lists.freeradius.org/pipermail/freeradius-users/2011-April/msg00295.html

I think this patch fixed the original issue, but the mschapv2 callback 
is not preserving *all* the attributes
received from the home server. Any ideas on how to fix mschap_postproxy ?

Another thing, this patch is not carried over to the 3.x branch and 
mschap_postproxy in both 2.x and 3.x
are almost same (except for some DEBUG statements), so there must be 
something else different between
2.x and 3.x - which makes this work in 3.x and not in 2.x!!

Please throw some light !
