I know this is the default...
When I tried to customize I got the error and started with the
default.
This is what is needed to re-create the default.
:set formatlistpat=^\\s*\\d\+[\\]:.)}\\t\ ]\\s*
Is this a bug?

What kind of magic?
This kind of magic :-)
:help option-backslash
Gist: backslashes and spaces are special in option value commands.
The :set command doesn't attempt to 'escape' its output when you request
the value back.
Ah oh !>) THAT kind of magic.
Thank you for the reference.
I guess I have never used :set with a space or \
To see the present value with the backslashes added, use
:setlocal flp=<Tab>
instead. Then you can edit the value on the command-line if you want.
Best regards,
