I have the same problem here. It causes problem with docview and gnus
links.

IIUC, since I don't know when, org-mode encode links with percent
encoding (you can check it by turning off org-mode (e.g. M-x
fundamental-mode)).

My guess is that it is now the job of the link handler (FOLLOW arg in
org-add-link-type) to unescape the path if necessary, but I'm not sure
of it.
