Hmm, lilypond 2.12 doesn't properly handle files like l$PWD.ly, either, so 
there's no regression at least ;-)

Hmm, gs seems to be unable to use filenames containing a % together with the 
pdfwrite DEVICE, anyway. gs is unable to run 
   gs -dSAFER  -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOutputFile='m%n.pdf'  -f 'm%n.ps'
(or any other combination of double quotes and/or escaping the percent), while 
it works without the DEVICE=pdfwrite:
   gs -dSAFER  -sOutputFile='m%n.pdf'  -f 'm%n.ps'

Cheers,
Reinhold
