Interesting - perhaps this sort of bug is a reason to avoid
anything that could cause double escaping in future?  (ie we should have
used some other character, not %, to mark our escapes, leaving that for
http?)

Although this particular bug is fixed, it may be the kind of thing that
tends to provoke bugs in other software.
