Its confusing as to what they do and don't support right now.
The http://blogs.office.com/2014/03/06/announcing-support-for-saml-2-0-federation-with-office-365/ announcement seemed to me to be saying that they were doing authentication for (at least) web based Office 365 right now using mechanisms which were more mainstream than previously. But that support for physical clients would be coming.
I've shied away from the ECP approach because it looked like it was getting away from the mainstream.
What I really want is something as straight forward as adding "just another SP", our mantra here is keep everything standard, bespoke will come back and bite you.
I get the feeling from the sparsity of responses, whenever I ask this question, that very few have had the courage to do shibboleth authentication with O365!
Cheers
