FWIW, I've found where this behaviour is documented:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/sprintf-sprintf-l-swprintf-swprintf-l-swprintf-l?view=msvc-170
(I've remembered a case with test/sql/partition_prune from 2020, where
sprintf on Windows worked the other way.)
Best regards,
