Thanks for reporting!
Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce this on my side because C-u M-!
printf ... command does not work with my shell:

/bin/bash: line 1: printf: warning: `': invalid time format specification
/bin/bash: line 1: printf: `T': invalid format character

May you try to use the development version of Org mode and let me know
if you keep seeing the warning?
