It seems like a bug, that '%' adds backslashes before parentheses
under Windows. Parentheses are not metacharacters in the Windows
shell, and backslash is not an escape character.

For instance:

gvim "hello (world).txt"
:!start cmd /c "%<.exe" & pause<cr>

runs "hello.exe" with parameter "\(world\).exe", when the intention is
to run "hello (world).exe".
