The problem is in org-insert-link: in one case, when we edit the link at point,
the link is unescaped:
,----
| ...
| ((org-in-regexp org-bracket-link-regexp 1)
| ;; We do have a link at point, and we are going to edit it.
| (setq remove (list (match-beginning 0) (match-end 0)))
| (setq desc (if (match-end 3) (org-match-string-no-properties 3)))
| (setq link (read-string "Link: "
| (org-link-unescape
| (org-match-string-no-properties 1)))))
`----
but in the other case, when we just paste the link into the minibuffer,
it is not - check from the (unwind-protect ... ) on line 9088 of org.el
and ff to the end of the function: the link that's read from the minibuffer
is passed untouched (well, at least unescaped) to org-make-link-string on
the very last line of the function and apparently the latter reescapes everything:
try replacing the call
(org-make-link-string link desc)
on the last line of org-insert-link with
(org-make-link-string (org-link-unescape link) desc)
I think that'll fix it.
