Thanks for this report. I can't reproduce this with the latest Zenmap,
4.85BETA3. Between 4.68 and now the way Zenmap handles Nmap options was
overhauled. Among other things Zenmap no longer needs the %s hint to
know where to put target specifications.

Please try the newer Zenmap and see if that works. The particular error
string you saw, "An unexpected error occurred!" is no longer even in the
source code, so at the very least you'll get a different error message.
But I think it will work.
