import std.stdio;

void main()
{
  writefln("%s"); //1
  writefln("%s hello %s"); //2
}
//----

Produces:
//1
std.format.FormatException at C:\D\dmd.2.064.2\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\format.d(438):
Orphan format specifier: %%s
//2
std.format.FormatException at C:\D\dmd.2.064.2\dmd2\windows\bin\..\..\src\phobos\std\format.d(438):
Orphan format specifier: %%s hello %s

It appears the error message contains the actual format string, and not the
actual format specifier.

The fix is trivial, and in said exception line:
text("Orphan format specifier: %", fmt));

s/fmt/spec.spec/

to fix
