My mistake and apologies.

I see https%3A//.  Is there a reason why %26 would fail?

Ahh, yes, I was just now following that path and it does indeed work!  Thank you.

Here is what I wound up with, the only modification being the replacement of the '&' ampersand with '%26':

    <MetadataProvider id="docusign-provider" xsi:type="FileBackedHTTPMetadataProvider" xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:metadata"
        backingFile="%{idp.home}/metadata/docusign-metadata.xml"
        metadataURL='https://met.refeds.org/met/entity/https%3A//docusign.com/sp/?viewxml=true%26federation=incommon-federation'
        proxyHost="proxy"
        proxyPort="3128"
        disregardTLSCertificate="false" />

And yes, I previously tried both ' and " as the string's delimiters with no effect.
