Will try and push a demo app with test tomorrow if I get time. However, (quick and dirty) steps to reproduce are:

* setup a new 2.3.x (I'm using 14) bare app with a Gemfile that has only installs ```gem 'rails'``` and ```gem 'faker'```;
* ```bundle install```;
* ```script/console```;
* at the prompt, type ```"%{a}" % {:a => 1}```

The result will be:
```
ArgumentError: malformed format string - %{
from (irb):1:in `%'
from (irb):1
```

The various ```:require => nil``` and ```I18n.reload!``` workarounds suggested in issue 5 do not seem to sort the problem.
