Re:

Although this looks like a bug in your processor, you might try nesting the 
<xsl:call-template> calls:

<xsl:variable name="value1">
  <xsl:call-template name="encode">
    <xsl:with-param name="inString">
      <xsl:call-template name="encode">
        <xsl:with-param name="inString" select="string(.)"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="oldChars" select="'%'"/>
        <xsl:with-param name="newChars" select="'%25'"/>
      </xsl:call-template>
    </xsl:with-param>
    <xsl:with-param name="oldChars" select="' '"/>
    <xsl:with-param name="newChars" select="'%20'"/>
  </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>

This should eliminate the need for having 2 different variables.  You could 
also replace the <xsl:value-of select="$value2"/> call below with the first 
<xsl:call-template> and eliminate the need for all the variables.
