Seems quite obvious, it should do the same as these commands:
printf '\045d\n' 1 2

It's not entirely arbitrary. Because of the restriction, coreutils printf
doesn't have to worry about what this command should do:
printf '\u0025d\n' 1 2
Does this print a single line

Indeed, it most certainly violates the principle of least surprise.
Especially, it means that a shell script that will run in bash won't
run in a shell that doesn't have a built-in printf.

[Forwarding bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/680244 as requested by the
Gentoo package maintainer.]
According to printf(1):
Interpreted sequences are:
[...]
\u Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646) character with hex value (4 digits)
\U
Unicode character with hex value
