Emacs version?
Here:
Org-mode version 7.01trans commit-4cd56cfa7b93902544acb32848e36ee4004239a3
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600) of 2010-05-08 on G41R2F1
Windows XP 

I can confirm the error. 

[[file://localhost/c:/Documents and Settings/A/Documenti/z-emacs/a.org][link-localh-:]]   works

[[file://c:/Documents and Settings/A/Documenti/z-emacs/a.org][link-c:]]      works, faster

[[file://localhost/c%3/Documents and Settings/A/Documenti/z-emacs/a.org][link-localh% ]] does 

not work the way expected: it opens a "a.org" buffer, but  the  path is
wrong:  if you try to save the "a.org" buffer  C-x w the directory 
proposed is:

.../A/Documenti/z-emacs/

*But*, Vincent, why do you use "%3A" when the colon ":" works? ?-/

cheers,

Giovanni
