Where does it show up wrong in gmail? in the "built in google talk" interface for gmail? or something else? (just curious)

Google Talk handle correctly, it's Gmail the problem.

folk, and the % notation came from back in old email days and isn't
really anything that's "standard" in XMPP land.  Instead, we are
theoretically supposed to be using JID escaping (forget the XEP
number off the top of my head), which replaces the @ symbol with \40
instead of %.  I'm moving towards that in the IM Gateway plugin for
Wildfire, and will likely do the same in PyAIMt at some point.

BTW, as far as I know % shouldn't be considered invalid by google
talk regardless...  I don't believe that's an illegal character.
