fmt.Printf("%d%", 42) gives 42%!(NOVERB), spotting the percent with no following verb.
fmt.Sscanf("42 314", "%d%", &i, &j) with ints i and j returns an error of bad verb %% for integer.

No %% occurs in the format specifier. The cause is parsenum() winding back from being at the end of the string, having processed the second %, to just before it so it's used as the verb in the error.
