It's always off by the length of the inserted string, so it's at least
systematic:
(format (propertize "ççfoo %s bar" 'face 'bold) "xxx")
=> #("ççfoo xxx bar" 0 10 (face bold))
(format (propertize "ççfoo %s bar" 'face 'bold) "xxxx")
=> #("ççfoo xxxx bar" 0 10 (face bold))
It doesn't happen if there's just one multibyte character in the format
spec -- there has to be two or more.
