Thanks for the input.

You're welcome. Whenever you decide what to do about this, could you please let us know? I'd like coreutils printf to stay compatible with Bash printf. Thanks.

I think I'm going to stick with the behavior I proposed, fixing the POSIX
conformance issue and preserving backwards compatibility, until I hear more
about whether backwards compatibility is an issue here.
