The '%' is illegal in URLs (unless it is quoted).
Zope is too stupid to recognize url encoding and complains about the '%'.

In my opinion, it is time to get rid of the URL character restriction.
It will be a bit difficult to find all places in Zope's code
where omitting the restriction will require an explicit quoting,
but it will be worth the effort.

Maybe, you want to write a proposal?
