Hello

`save-some-buffers' errors when it encounters a filename that
contains a %-sequence:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Not enough arguments for format string")
  (message #("Save file /tmp/%i;%I? (y, n, !, ., q, M-~, C-r, C-f, d or C-h) " ...))
  (map-y-or-n-p #f(lambda (buffer) [(queried t) (arg nil)] ...))
  ...
  (save-some-buffers nil)

     Cheers,
     Jonas

Thanks, I'm therefore closing this bug.
