It's not the %22 that causes the crash, it is a memory management
issue, and I don't have a 4 minute fix right now, I've opened a
ticket and will look at it.

You may be able to work around this for now by doing the substitution
into a pseudo header in vcl_recv and use that in vcl_hash, something like:

sub vcl_recv {
	[...]
        if (req.http.cookie ~ LOCALIZER_LANGUAGE) {
                set req.http.mylang = regsub(
			req.http.cookie,
			".*LOCALIZER_LANGUAGE=%22(..)%22.*",
			"$1");
		lookup;
        }
	[...]
}


sub vcl_hash {
	set req.hash += req.http.mylang;
}
