I've also experienced this exact same problem. Thanks for describing it so well.

I've found some other strange behavior relating to this template parameter encoding.

 

For example, if i use the following,

 

value : REST_£_TestOfPoundSignEncoding

 

My application receiving the request that is decoding has decoded the pound sign into '�' - which doesn't look right!

 

I also tried disabling the encoding of this parameter. (by selecting it in the REST resource). Then using the value of  '%' in my template field, and this crashed soapUI. I could not re-open that test step until I went back into the resource to re-enable the encoding again.
