It's not, and clisp is quite right, though its error message is
somewhat poor.  In SBCL:

* (format nil "~:,,' ,8B" 1)

debugger invoked on a SB-FORMAT:FORMAT-ERROR in thread 3429:
  error in FORMAT: parameters found after #\: or #\@ modifier
  ~:,,' ,8B
    ^
See also:
  The ANSI Standard, Section 22.3

Cheers,
