This patch is wrong, it breaks access to normal files with '%'.  
Additionally, it doesn't change X-Accel-Redirect behaviour for 
non-static files.

Instead X-Accel-Redirect value should be unescaped when it got 
from upstream, somewhere before ngx_http_internal_redirect() call.
I personally believe ngx_http_parse_unsafe_uri() should be changed 
to unescape uri (note that it will also affect ssi and dav 
modules).  Though I haven't investigated this carefully enough.
