It is definitely the case that this behavior of cl-format you demonstrate
does not match the behavior of Common Lisp's format when given the same
arguments.  It doesn't capitalize the keyword name, either, but I think
leaving it lower case is more in keeping with Clojure's case-sensitive
symbol nature as opposed to Common Lisp's convert-to-caps behavior.

You can create a JIRA ticket if you wish:
