Inserting a link through the link dialog doesn't escape URLs with
spaces properly. Where a space is '%20', org will insert the link as
'%2520'. I'm not certain of URL escape codes, but could org be trying
to escape the % sign? Perhaps a missing slash in a regexp somewhere?

1) Use =C-c C-l= to use dialog. Paste a link, like the following.

2) Use =C-c C-o= to open the link. Be weirded out about a 404. Inspect URL.
