Comment (by olly):

 I've set up a testcase for the other characters:

 http://survex.com/~olly/550/

 I've realised {{{:}}} is definitely not safe in general, as
 {{{http:bad.html}}} should get parsed as scheme {{{http:}}}.  Experiments
 bear that out.  Some cases (link a link to {{{:.html}}}) works in most
 browsers (but not all).  It seems to be safe if there's an explicit
 scheme, which wouldn't be too hard to check, but I think this probably
 isn't worth context sensitive handling.

 And {{{%}}} not followed by a valid pair of hex digits is rejected by
 Apache, and MSIE doesn't even allow clicking on it.

 So the apparently-OK-in-practice list is: {{{[]@!$&'()*+,;=}}}.

 I've tested (or had tested) the cases on the page above with recent
 versions of iceweasel/firefox, chromium, w3m, lynx, links, and MSIE.
 Results for other browsers and for older versions welcome.
