Wrong format and also what is it fixing?
I think you have misunderstood what that tag means.
It almost always means we should backport. Which is not something we'll
do for consistency in error messages.

Sashiko did call out a few more cases, but I think they are fine as they
are using chan: %d to tell us which channel a message is referring to.
However you should relax your 'all occurrences' to make it clear it's
not 'all'.
