I think that's rather cumbersome. Wouldn't fixing the parser be better?
Something like
            for (j = 0; fmt_table[j].name != NULL; j++) {
                int fmtlen = strlen(fmt_table[j].name);
                if (!strncmp(sfmt, fmt_table[j].name, fmtlen)
                    && sfmt[fmtlen] == 0 || sfmt[fmtlen] == ',')
                    break;
            }

should work if I understood the expected logic correctly. It's somewhat
more complex than the original but if you need a comment explaining the
limitations otherwise then I think it's better.
