I doubt this exampe should skip whitespace. POSIX says:
"A directive that is an ordinary character shall be executed as follows:
the next byte shall be read from the input and compared with the byte
that comprises the directive; if the comparison shows that they are not
equivalent, the directive shall fail, and the differing and subsequent
bytes shall remain unread."
%% is the ordinary % character and no isspace(3) skipping mentioned in
this explanation.
