As you note, %r is valid, apparently, only in the context of %O/P/Q
or similar formats. That didn't apply to my messages. And multiple %m's
don't work either.

This hint led me to a working solution. I appended the error location to
the end of the line (leaving it in place, as well); changed the location
delimiters from "[]" to "@{}" (maybe the use of "[]", significant to regular-
and scanf-expressions, was a problem), and :set efm=%m\ @{%f:%l:%v}.
Thank you!
