First, I think Balaji's solution might be the way to go, however here is another option.

I have run into this same issue before and ended up using the html entity in place of the % sign. For example:

<c:set var="level1PageTitleFormat" value="${fn:replace(level1Page.title,' ','&#37;20')

This should get the job done for you.

Please use 

<c:out value="${title}"/>

This will HTML-encode the string.

In strings when formatting replace single % with double %% to escape the percent sign.
