That portion of the display shows (in this case, since there's no
decomposition) how the raw character in question would be displayed.
And since no available font has a glyph for ^L, you see an empty
square. That looks correct to me. You expected to see ^L, but that
comes from a display table, which is bypassed in this case, and for
good reason, as explained above.
So I don't think this is a bug, just something that might not be
expected.

That's not what I see, I see the TTY graphics for Form Feed (FF)
character, which is also correct. This is on MS-Windows, where the
console font has a glyph for FF, which looks like ♀.
