You have to replace %% with \letterpercent\letterpercent because you're 
still playing with TeX rules.

\startxmlsetups xml:special
     \startitem
\cldcontext{string.gsub("\xmlraw{#1}{.}","\letterpercent\letterpercent","\\letterpercent{}")}
     \stopitem
\stopxmlsetups

To avoid these limitations create a new Lua function and call only this 
function in the setup:

\startluacode

moduledata = moduledata or { }

function moduledata.special(str)
     return string.gsub(str,"%%","\\letterpercent{}")
end

\stopluacode

\startxmlsetups xml:special
     \startitem
     \cldcontext{moduledata.special([[\xmlraw{#1}{.}]])}
     \stopitem
\stopxmlsetups
