It is definitely the case that this behavior of cl-format you demonstrate does not match the behavior of Common Lisp's format when given the same arguments. It doesn't capitalize the keyword name, either, but I think leaving it lower case is more in keeping with Clojure's case-sensitive symbol nature as opposed to Common Lisp's convert-to-caps behavior.
