Seems like all I needed was a fresh perspective. The extension /AutomaticRemote_User/ (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AutomaticREMOTE_USER) gives me exactly what I need to do to seamlessly authenticate my users to Mediawiki. Works perfectly. Between that and some of the functionality provided by /LDAPAuthentication/ for pulling AD attributes, I can Frankenstein something up that should suffice till the next version of LDAPAuthentication is released.
