I've confirmed that correcting the character handling in REST config
addresses the problem that I was trying to solve. It's a pretty small
patch because most of the REST config endpoints already did the decoding
and just cascaded WMS layers were missing it.
https://github.com/dwins/geoserver/commit/187640942beb6c46f5dc0592fd562202235c158c
Regardless of what is done about issue with colons, I think that we should
apply the above patch so that RESTConfig can work with all configurations.
