it is very likely that you have broken yacc in a different
way by doing this.  stdio formats are not compatable with
plan 9 print formats.  for example, u is a flag when used
with sprint but a verb when used with printf.

(not to mention the fact that other programs than yacc
use sprint.)

have you verified that a standalone program with a
similar print statement has the same problems?
