Try getting rid of the lamba, it might make things clearer and it 
simplifies debugging. Something like(this is just a sketch):

def callback(match):
    print match.group()
    return chr(int(match.group(),16)) % ord(match.group())

output.write(re.sub('r([^\w\s])', callback, line)

It looks like your match.group is a '%' character:

>>> int('%', 16)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#108>", line 1, in ?
    int('%', 16)
ValueError: invalid literal for int(): %
>>>
