Dear Maintainer,

printf(1) says:
   escaping non-printable characters with the proposed POSIX $'' syntax.
this syntax is real as of Issue 8 (POSIX.1-2024).

ls is probably also affected by this since it outputs these.

Fixed upstream with:
https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/50e85d481

thanks,
Pádraig
