> Trying to replicate the bug, I've found that `#, python-format` compiles
just fine with invalid string format specifiers.

These aren't invalid Python format specifiers. "% s" is a valid one. Can
you re-test with one %-prefixed sequence that is actually invalid?

`%` by `%%` makes no sense and that changeset should be reverted.
