As I remember there is not much change in variable substituion recently.
Could you get a full debug log for version 1.1.2 and 1.2.1-RC13 
(<http://wpkg.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wpkg/wpkg/stable/1.2/>) to compare it?

However I see there is only %SOFTWARE% substituted in your command. I am using 
the %SOFTWARE% variable too without seeing such issues. So I wonder what the 
difference to version 1.1.2 could be. Maybe the logs will tell...
