Curator: how to escape characters of "--timestring" in systemd?

I stumbled over the same issue today on CoreOs.
I found that a single percent is escaped as '%%'.
Things will work if you write:

--timestring '%%Y.%%m.%%d'

(from http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.unit.html)

Cheers,
Michael
