I just checked the online documentation on httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0 and discovered that contrary to what I have locally (2.0.54), the NE flag is indeed described in the latest version of the mod_rewrite documentation.
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule :
'noescape|NE' (no URI escaping of output)
This flag prevents mod_rewrite from applying the usual URI escaping rules to the result of a rewrite. Ordinarily, special characters (such as '%', '$', ';', and so on) will be escaped into their hexcode equivalents ('%25', '%24', and '%3B', respectively); this flag prevents this from happening. This allows percent symbols to appear in the output, as in
RewriteRule /foo/(.*) /bar?arg=P1\%3d$1 [R,NE]
which would turn '/foo/zed' into a safe request for '/bar?arg=P1=zed'.

I thought there was a flag blocking URL escaping in rewrite rules, but I am actually unable to find it in the module documentation. Checking the code, however, I found the following:
bash-2.03$ grep -n NOESCAPE mod_rewrite.h
125:#define RULEFLAG_NOESCAPE 1<<13
128:#define ACTION_NOESCAPE 1<<1
bash-2.03$
from mod_rewrite.c
else if ( strcasecmp(key, "noescape") == 0
|| strcasecmp(key, "NE") == 0 ) {
cfg->flags |= RULEFLAG_NOESCAPE;
}
Could you try adding the NE flag to your rewrite rule and see what happens ??
