>From 9.4.1

R913    format is default-char-expr
               or label
               or ∗

>From 10.1.2

A character expression used as a format specifier in a formatted
input/output statement shall evaluate to a character string whose leading part
is a valid format specification.

NOTE 10.2
The format specification begins with a left parenthesis and ends with a
right parenthesis.

IMHO This is invalid.
