Ping... (maybe I should have used a more dramatic subject - I do think
this is a real bug, but if not, I'd still like to get an explicit NAK.)

According to C99, %*.s means the same as %*.0s, in other words, print
as many spaces as the field width argument says and effectively ignore
the string argument. That is certainly not what was meant here. The
kernel's printf implementation, however, treats it as if the . was not
there, i.e. as %*s.
