Inconsistent output when using % signs

Text of issue below:

I have some output that is killing the JSON when it has % signs, which seemed odd to me that percent signs alone would kill the JSON, so I decided to test it out and the output I'm getting is wildly inconsistent (but interesting). In the examples below, I see the output correctly in the HTML page (cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi). The first one is the example of when it works correctly.

Input:
Group Share% Use

JSON Output:
"Group Share% Use"

Input:
Group Share% Use% Share

JSON Output:
"Group Share% Use�����hare"

Input:
Group Share% Use% hare

JSON Output:
"Group Share% Use 0x0.000300000003p-1022re"

Input:
Group 90%

JSON Output:
""

Input:
Testing % sign

JSON Output:
"Testing `֞ign"

Any ideas? I'm using commit 6081644, but I had this problems with % signs when I was using 4.0.4 and 4.0.7 (the release from last week).
