The fix in that new version is actually supposed to fix just one kind of such 
an issue.
    * Fix an upgrade error when JAVA_OPTS in /etc/default/tomcat8               
   
      contains the '%' character (LP: #1666570).

Thanks for your report, and the workaround.
But to understand what in particular is breaking in your case we need to 
understand what is actually going on.
