Yes, escaping with backslash DOES help. I could not in any way force an 
error as long as I escaped the percent mark.
Perhaps your problem is that the EMACS-mode goes wrong and colours the 
rest of the line red. But this is not a bug in *lilypond* - it's a bug 
in the emacs mode, and it is completely harmless.
