But the results below demonstrate a problem. The 2nd and 3rd represent

I'm looking into this issue, but this caught my eyes:
Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.5.409.g4f3a3) == latest
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This looks like a mixed up Org mode install, doesn't it?
It would explain the problem you face. The functions for escaping
%-encoded characters has changed significantly and if you run
org-protocol.el from 7.5 together with org.el from 7.4 you would get
exactly what you got.
Could you check if you have a mixed Org install?
Best,
