The problem with this is that it would require a bunch more conditions
as you see it would not have helped your own use case (requiring the *p)

I'm actually looking into extending your patch to handle all cases that
vbin_printf() is an issue.

Thinking about it more, as vbin_printf() is a two part process, it
should by default not depend on any dereferencing, as I can't think of
any use case for it where it wouldn't be an issue.
