Sorry, but this actually is a bug. Kind of brain damage.
echo sprintf('%05.2f', 0.02) . "\n";
00000.02
echo sprintf('%05.2f', 2.02) . "\n";
02.02
Although the double-checked documentation is very uncertain about how this should work, it
definitely should work one of the ways, not both.

Actually, I did find inconsistency (bug) with the new behavior.
echo sprintf("%06.2f",'1.00');
001.00
echo sprintf("%06.2f",'.01');
000000.01
So which is it? Pad to 6 characters or pad to 6 on the left of the decimal point?

OK, looking at /ext/standard formatted_print.c I see what has changed. Before we were specifying
the desired number of characters to pad to the left of the decimal. Now we are specifying the total
desired number of characters the output should be padded to. So technically, we are indeed
"padding the results to the right string size". Too bad it has been the previous way for
so long.
