[pmwiki-users] url escape sequence puzzle

I have a wiki farm, some of which offer email list subscriptions to 
users with this wiki code:

===========================

To subscribe to our email list, enter your email address below:

(:input form "{$ScriptUrl}/TCGN.SubscribeResults" GET:)

Enter your email address:\\
(:input text address size=40:)

(:input submit value="Subscribe":)
(:input end:)

===========================

In most, from input of "henrik at bechmann.ca", the form (for the action) 
generates something like

http://tcgn.ca/wiki/wiki.php?n=TCGN.SubscribeResults&address=henrik%40bechmann.ca

which is correct, but on one site, the following is generated:

http://tcgn.ca/wiki/wiki.php?n=TCGN.SubscribeResults&address=henrik%2540bechmann.ca

Note the %25 in front of the "40". So the percent of the url sequence is 
itself being escaped.

I'm quite baffled about where to look for this bug.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

- Henrik
