problem using a property metadata-providers.xml (idp 3.1.2)

[Liam Hoekenga]

We have a medata provider defined in metadata-providers.xml:

    <MetadataProvider id="localFed"
xsi:type="FileBackedHTTPMetadataProvider"
backingFile="%{federation.md.file}" metadataURL="%{federation.md.URL}">
        <MetadataFilter xsi:type="SignatureValidation"
certificateFile="/etc/pki/tls/certs/localFed.pem"/>
        <MetadataFilter xsi:type="EntityRoleWhiteList">
            <RetainedRole>md:SPSSODescriptor</RetainedRole>
        </MetadataFilter>
    </MetadataProvider>

We're trying to define the backingFile and metadataURL values using
properties.  It seems that shib is doing string validation before it
inserts the property value:

Should this work?
