That happens when the left side of the % operator has more "%s" than
the right side has values for.  The traceback shows that it is the %
operator, and it has been delegated to webhelpers.html.builder, which
would happen if the left side is a literal() or a tag already created
by the builder.  ``.__mod__`` is the method that implements "%", and
can be overridden in subclasses.

To troubleshoot this, we'd need to know the local variables in the
bottom level of the traceback. If you can reproduce this in the
interactive traceback, you can see them.

The % operator has a general ambiguity because the right side can be a
single value, tuple, or dict.  The problem is if the single value
happens to be a tuple, Python misinterprets it.  That's why %
formatting is being phased out on Python 3.  However, this looks like
the opposite, that there are too many %s on the left side and not
enough values on the right. That could be a bug either in AuthKit or
the builder.
