Yes. But that was easily fixed: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=420533&view=rev
The character was not properly escaped.

This has to do with percentage evaluation which hasn't been fully
implemented for RTF, yet. There's an implicit "100% - 18pt" calculation
in the background (18pt = 24pt - 6pt which are the default values for
the "provisional-*" properties) and that's why the error is triggered.
If the output looks good just ignore the error. :-)
