Wformat-overflow warning with two-dimensional array

Hi,

The following code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void) {
        char names[1000][20];
        memset(names, 0, sizeof(names));

        for (unsigned int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
                char s[40];
                sprintf(s, "/dev/%s", names[i]);
        }
}

Should - in our opinion - be correct as names[i] is guaranteed to be null-terminated due to the memset.
However, GCC 15.2 produces a warning:

~ gcc-15 -Wall -O1 bug.c
bug.c: In function 'main':
bug.c:10:34: warning: '%s' directive writing up to 19999 bytes into a region of size 35 [-Wformat-overflow=]
   10 |                 sprintf(s, "/dev/%s", names[i]);
      |                                  ^~
bug.c:10:17: note: 'sprintf' output between 6 and 20005 bytes into a destination of size 40
   10 |                 sprintf(s, "/dev/%s", names[i]);
      |                 ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

To us it seems like GCC misunderstands the size of a two-dimensional array, or rather, the size of a single element in this array.
Note that changing the sprintf to use a constant instead of `i` produces no warning:

        for (unsigned int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
                char s[40];
                sprintf(s, "/dev/%s", names[0]); // any constant [0, 999] works
        }

Is this simply a compiler bug or are we misunderstanding something here?
Thanks!

Kind regards
Felix
