Summary: Double redirect fixes not coding special characters in EO.WP

Initial Comment:
A user of the Esperanto Wikipedia alerted me to this problem.
The command:

redirect.py -lang:eo double

messes up redirects to articles containing the special character convention in Esperanto sx, cx, ux, etc.. Check this edit made by my bot:

http://eo.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Steindorf&action=edit&oldid=1445034

Instead of using the special character 'Ŝ', it mangles it as 'Sxx' (not even 'Sx'), causing it to be broken (I believe it's even not well interpreted by the Wiki, because 'Sxx' is being rendered as 'Sx').

Titles have to be x-decoded to work as links. 

See patch 1880140
