Sorry for not answering sooner - it's easier to do the source searching at home.

At least in Tomcat, they're the same:

    public String getRemoteUser() {
        if (userPrincipal != null) {
            return (userPrincipal.getName());
        } else {
            return (null);
        }
    }

Can't speak for what goes on in other containers, or why the spec is somewhat 
ambiguous in that area.
