EF 100-400 Incompatible with CPL Filter

Today, while at the Corpus Christi Hawk Watch, I tested a ProMaster 77mm CPL Digital HD circular polarizer filter with a Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens. The results were a disaster. With the camera on a stable base and in bright sunlight, I took images at 400mm of a store sign. With the filter attached, the best auto focus achievable gives the effect of motion blur.
