yes, it should be "1%%", otherwise it will be treated as a space padded
format string (e.g. "1% of", would be interpreted as "1%of", where "%o"
would be treated as format string).
Since the plural uses "%n", the entry should be marked as c-format
string, IMHO. Otherwise the %n replacement won't work.

We forced msgfmt to treat all strings as c-format strings in order to
catch those which really do have c-formats inside but were not tagged as
such.
