ls produces spurious message elements during tab completion

Dear GNU core utils team, 
 
when using a partially completed path after ls and playing with tab
completion to remind oneself of the next directory or file
then the following message typically appears, as in this example...
 
prompt: ls -al /usr/lib/jvm/j
There are 4 There are %d %s, list them anyway? [n/y] , list them anyway?
[n/y] n
 
 
This text duplication bug with the C code style format specifiers
showing up is obviously only a minor issue,
but is certainly a symptom of incomplete coding and may lead you to
notice other problems.
 
At the very least it isn't pretty.
 
First noticed using ls under scientific linux 4 I've noticed the
following behaviour
I'm not sure but I may have also seen it in ubuntu and it may be a
problem across many linux flavours
 
regards
 
Paul Coe
