There is NO securityName in the message.
Where do you think the message contains a securityname?

IN 4.2, TSM
   3) Set securityParameters to a zero-length OCTET STRING ('0400').


OK; I haven't had much sleep, so maybe my memory is wrong, and I certainly need to go back and re-read the draft. But, I think it is essential to actually transport the security name and level in the SNMP message, and for TSM to verify that they are the saem. Otherwise, among other things, you can run into the situation Tom describes, where the two ends disagree on what the securityName is.
