Metadata resolver is looking at ID instead of entityID

Errors about the signature validation would occur well before that. 
Since this is the Filesystem- provider, errors there would occur at IdP
startup and/or at metadata refresh time.  I'd wager a hefty sum that if
you restart your IdP, and then look the logs since that startup
(without even attempting any SP login activity) you will see errors
there from the SignatureValidation filter and the components it calls.

Correct, exactly.  In the IdP "unverified" means "no metadata" for that
entity.

Look earlier in the logs.  The errors with the Filesystem- provider
will happen at IdP start time, not when you are attempting to log in to
your SP.  (The latter would be true as you were doing before with the
dynamic HTTP provider, since there it's going to resolve the metadata
at runtime when it first needs to be looked up.)
