Yeah, the risk this is trying to guard against is variables containing
"%" unexpectedly. Even if that's not possible, it requires some work
to verify and it's a bit fragile. I didn't look at the specific cases
yet but in general I think this is a good policy.
One thing to watch out for is that the intention may have been to allow
the strings to be translated.
