I think it just as likely that the "omitted' text is around lines 104155-6 (that is just before the "EXIT STATUS" section of the printf description in XCU 4) and that perhaps the correction should be to add a new clause at the end of that sentence ... or for a numeric conversion where the argument is in the form of a quoted string ('"' or "'" followed by text). This makes the "string" format args processing consistent in all forms, as much of the string as is needed is consumed, and any excess is ignored.
