Ok you're right, I get your point
LIKE '%%esc%' --> startWith('%esc')
LIKE 'escape%%' --> = 'escape%'
What I strongly suspect is that in the source code of SASI, we parse the %
xxx % expression BEFORE applying escape. That will explain the observed
behavior. E.g:
LIKE '%%esc%' parsed as %xxx% where xxx = %esc
LIKE 'escape%%' parsed as xxx% where xxx =escape%
Let me check in the source code and try to reproduce the issue
