I am a little surprised that so many IT folks who are "Central Management" focused prefer an application that makes no effort in OS integration and requires redundant effort to manage. Maintaining good Security is hard enough without duplicating the required efforts.

Sure. But in this case, there seems to be a simple answer: they can configure FF for the behavior they desire, and they cannot configure Mac OS X so that Safari behaves that way. Once Safari *can* be configured in a way that works with their sites, it'll be duplicated effort, but it isn't right now.

Now, it may well be that all of these sites are misconfigured, but from my own prior experience with browser compatibility arguments, Apple is not likely to be able to convince anyone of this as long as IE and FF "work".
