I have raised this issue with them and asked them to regularly refresh their metadata. So far this appears to be in vain, however I will persist with this and ensure those with 'visible' entities will be on the list.

Looks like they're generally not the best at keeping their WAYF list
accurate; we have a development IdP registered with the hideFromWayf
element in the federation metadata, but they decided to ignore that and
put our dev box on the list anyway :) through which some keen students
managed to (legitimately) gain access. Seems that anyone who wants to be
on their list isn't, and vice versa!
