Drupal Views replacement pattern issue in multilingual site

I'm having issues with Drupal Views module's replacement patterns in a multilingual site. I have 2 views, one is a page view that looks for the [tid] on the URL to list contents associated with that [tid]. I have another block view that lists my taxonomy terms and rewrites them to output a link which points to the first page while adding the [tid] to the URL. So in the block view, I have a "Taxonomy term: Name" field with "Output this field as a link" checked in the "Rewrite Results" section. The link path I'm using is "category_contents/[tid]". This works correctly to give me the list of taxonomy term as clickable links, the link looks something like "http://localhost/category_contents/2". This works fine in English.

I recently changed the site to default to Simplified Chinese, and now the same block view is producing links as "http://localhost/category_contents/%5Btid%5D", which obviously won't work correctly.

Seems some HTML encoding is happening before the replacement pattern is being processed, any ideas?
