Hi Roderich.  Google("Apache 2.2.25 double encoding bug") -> it's a bug in httpd 2.2.25: <https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55397>.  Ben Reser reported it so hopefully he can tell you any news regarding a fix, but downgrading to 2.2.24 for now would appear to be a good work-around.
