I don't understand why you consider it a bug. According to the doc
string (see below), this:
(format-spec "%>15t" '((?t . "0123456789")))
should behave the same as this:
(format "%15s" "0123456789")
And in my testing, it does: both produce " 0123456789".
So I don't think I agree that there's a bug here to begin with. The
doc string of format-spec says:
The width and truncation modifiers behave like the corresponding
ones in ‘format’ when applied to %s.
