According to the "BUGS" section in scanf, the success of literal
matches and suppressed assignments is not directly determinable.

I would say the behavior indicated is correct: two (2) conversions
were successfully completed.  Perhaps but not likely, errno is set
to indicate that an inconsistency was found.
