I confirm the explanation is missing from the doc.

This is to be used with caution: I had put it in my config file, used by other
Org users, and they experienced immediately an "out-of-args" error, inhibiting
them forever to access the agenda from that point in time.

Cause: they use the stable 7.7, hence do not have that feature accessible.

Though, is there a way to make a unknown format specifier have less
problematic impact on users?

Best regards,
  Seb
