Sorry, I've been sick at the weekend, so my previous reply was a
little terse.
In general, the C standard reserves lowercase formatting letters for
future standardized conversions, but leaves other characters (so
namely uppercase letters) for "extensions".
Thus, avr-libc's use of %S for progmem strings is fully standards
compliant. It's GCC here that applies wrong assumptions. It would be
cool if we could somehow "tune" that in the avr-libc printf()
prototype (to avoid the pointless warning), but I'm not enough of a
GCC expert on that.

The standard's format specifier for a wide character string is "%ls".
That's why GCC's notion of %S is just another kind of an extension to
the standard only. We've picked %S for progmem strings, since we
don't support wide characters anyway, and it seemed to be the most
logical extension.
