 I was about to create an upstream bug for this, but then I saw:
 
 http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1570.pdf
 page 309 (327th of document):
 
    "If the format is exhausted while arguments remain, the excess
     arguments are evaluated (as always) but are otherwise ignored."
 
 So, amazingly, that code seems to be legal. Any thoughts from the
 language lawyers?
