Looks like you've got two different things going on: One is that %t is
meaningless in this context, the other is that when you quote %s, it
passes it through without performing the substitution. This seems like a
bug, because escaping the quotes doesn't make it work either. It seems
that it's only double-quotes that cause the non-substitution, try using
only single quotes...
