The output cannot be wrong, because according to https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/utilities/awk.html and https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/V1_chap05.html:

"If any character sequence in the format string begins with a '%' character, but does not form a valid conversion specification, the behavior is unspecified."
