The officially correct way is:  if you need to represent a '%' in the
name of a file in a URL, you encode it as '%25' (because the ASCII code
for '%' is hex 25).  I'm not surprised that other uses of '%' work, but
they're not officially supported and may not work consistently across
different tools.
