Nor with most anything else in my example...
So a better bug report would have been
Subject: format barfs on certain strings
For example,
(format "%%é")
evaluates to garbage.
However, the paradoxical thing was rather
(let* ((string1 "%%b")
(string2 (with-temp-buffer (insert string1) (buffer-string))))
(list (string-equal string1 string2)
(format string1)
(format string2)))
=> (t "%b" "%bb")
as it wouldn't have easily occurred to me that string1 and string2 can
have different representations on the C level, which format treats
differently (though this shouldn't show ;-)
