error string substituted for %E in filename

Why does this program create a file named ".new.error 2D.1". That
surely wasn't my intention and is croaking cvs client when checking
out a file called "%ED.1". Obviously something thinks "%E" should be
expanded to the current error string but in the open command? Not what
I would have expected.
Do I have to quote % to work around this?
config: cygwin 20.1, NT 4.

{
int fd;
fd = open (".new.%ED.1",
(O_WRONLY | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC),
0777);
close(fd);
}
