I think this is an incarnation of a known bug of "%=". See
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32339,
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42247,
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?42369, and
https://bugs.debian.org/731388.

It has been fixed in Git a few months ago and the fix will be part of
the next release, probably 4.2.2.

		Kind regards, Axel
