That's due to bug 377872 in intltool. I guess a workaround would be to
make it look like a valid c-format string, e.g.:

help=_("URL of keyserver. Default: %s" % default).decode(enc))

Title:
  add-apt-repository i18n problems

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There are some small i18n problems in add-apt-repository:
  - some parentheses are misplaced around translatable strings
  - strings with multiple %s's are not using named arguments, so they are not reorderable. To properly translate, I'd like to reorder them. 
  - there is no textdomain set, so gettext doesn't know where to look for the strings
  - strings in the output of --help are not marked for translation. They also need to workaround optparser's lack of utf8 awareness.
  - the big usage help text should be broken up into smaller pieces to make its translation easier to maintain.

  I'll attach a branch for most of these, but I couldn't figure out how
  to solve everything of the above, so it's still going to need some
  work.
