It is still something that needs fixing. Cannot see that it is described in
the bash manual. No mention of %s %d %o and related things. Certainly not in
the link you included.
It's not a bug. There is no need to duplicate information from printf(1)
and printf(3) in the bash man page. That's how you push the man `page'
over 200 pages.
If you want to read about the format specifiers, the first link from
Lawrence's message is authoritative.
On my system, `man -s 1 printf' and `man -s 3 printf' produce the
information you want.
