The Chef error is just being rethrown because URI.parse() in ruby can't 
handle those URIs and I just tested on ruby-2.1.1 and that class still 
doesn't know how to deal with AD domain users in FTP urls.  It looks like it 
would be possible to extend remote_file to take "username" and "password" 
attributes and pass those into the remote_file FTP downloader class and use 
those instead of trying to extract the user + pass out of the URI.  Right now 
the username and password look like they have to come from the URI though so 
its not possible to use usernames and passwords that ruby cannot parse.  You 
should look for an open chef ticket on this or open a new one up if you can't 
find one.
