I agree that your change is cleaner, and if the performance
won't be harmed that much, it is better to use your change
except for this kind of part:
! while ((c = SREF (elt, offset++)) != '\0' && c != '%')
Isn't it better to avoid using something like "offset++" as
an argument of a macro even if we know that it's currently
safe.
