Tony,
In re this (%) AND the '/' reported just before..
I don't personally generate or look at DKIM, nor pretend to grok it -
but ... whether these are acceptable in valid DKIM sigs or not, IMNSHO
the Exim *panic* log is not where I would expect reports to appear.
Unless a devel pops up with reasons otherwise, I'd suggest reporting
both of these cases as an apparent bug.
.. along with a verbatim copy of your acl_smtp_dkim, of course.
One CAN manually direct ANYTHING to panic::
PostgreSQL INSERTS for later action in my case, give that said log
otherwise atrophies from disuse.
