Upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/freeipa/ticket/5766
IdM team doesn't have capacity to fix this bug for RHEL 7.4. Moving to next RHEL version. Fixing the bug there will depend on capacity of FreeIPA upstream. Without sufficient justification there is a chance that it will be moved again later.
I cannot reproduce the issue any more. Initialization from a keytab with KRB5_CLIENT_KTNAME works fine for me on RHEL 7.5 as well as Fedora with FreeIPA master. Please make sure that the file is readable but the current user. KRB5 doesn't print an error when it doesn't have permission to read the keytab file. Matt, please check file permissions and try again.
I tested this in 7.5 and it works for me as well. Closing.
ACK'ing only to clear needinfo, as I started receiving email alerts. lgtm.
