Straight from an example in Format.mli:
# Format.printf "@\[%s@ %d@\]" "x =" 1 ;;
Uncaught exception: Invalid_argument("fprintf: unknown format \\")
OCaml 2.03/Mac1.0a6

There is no bug here, but a slight misunderstanding of the status of
.mli files wrt the documentation.
The documentation for the Caml modules M is not the verbatim m.mli
file, that is only the {\em source} of the documentation. In the
documentation extracted from format.mli, the example reads:
printf "@[%s@ %d@]" "x =" 1;;
and works perfectly.
