WS-Federation: Shibboleth handler invoked at an unconfigured location.

I have enabled WS-Federation support as described here
<https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPADFS>.

Now I see a /Shibboleth.sso/ADFS ACS in the generated metadata as expected.

However if I try to access that URL directly in a browser I see a
“Shibboleth handler invoked at an unconfigured location” error, which makes
me think there's a configuration problem. (Of course I don't expect
accessing the URL directly to do anything useful, but I would have expected
a more specific error message, e.g. concerning missing parameters.)

The messages in shibd.log look promising (slightly redacted):

However in native.log I have:

2015-12-15 09:14:51 CRIT Shibboleth.Config : maintaining existing
configuration, error reloading resource
(D:/nd/shibboleth-sp/etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml): Unknown plugin type.

There doesn't seem to be anything else in the log to indicate what plugin
is being referred to. However since this is new after adding the
WS-Federation configuration I assume it's referring to adfs.so.

Any suggestions on what might be wrong or where to look next?
