Then this looks like a bug in either UT_URI or KL_FILE_SYSTEM (or
whatever - I'm not sure of the class names there).

The colon is not a reserved character in a URI (at least, it's not
reserved after the colon that separates a URI scheme name from the
rest of the URI), so it shouldn't be escaped with percent-encoding.

I've checked through all the classes involved in fn:collection, and I
am pretty certain there is no code in there that's doing the escaping.

Can you debug through and find out where the escaping is taking place? 

My guess is UT_URI is doing this, using the escaping routines in
UT_URL_ENCODING.
In that class, the routine Default_unescaped, does not include the
colon as a member of the set that doesn't get escaped. So this is
probably where the problem lies.
