[bug #16531] Substitution reference and secondary expansion

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #16531 (project make):

The OP is correct: it's not the "%", it's the ":".  Because the variable
reference is escaped, make doesn't skip over it when parsing the command line
like it normally would, and instead make sees the second ":" inside the
substitution reference and interprets the command as a static pattern rule
(any command with two colons on the line is interpreted that way).

I tried to escape the ":" with a backslash and got a core dump (!) which I've
reported as bug #16545.
