That would indeed be a problem.  "%" is not a valid character in an
IPv6 text representation of the address (see RFC 4291,
<http://www.rfc-editor.org/cgi-bin/rfcdoctype.pl?loc=RFC&letsgo=4291&type=ftp&file_format=txt>).
Whether this is a bug for postgres seems to depend on whether that
reading is coming from the OS or postgres itself.  (I don't know the
answer to that.)
