May I suggest a script named 'unsafe', like this one, in $PATH.
-- 8< -- unsafe --
#!/bin/bash

echo -e "\
unsafe: man has detected an 'unsafe' command string.\n\
        command strings get created with my_xsprintf ()\n\
        when the %S directive is encountered."
-- 8< -- eof --

 Ideas on how to change the text output needed;
I'm not satisfied with the wording.

Reference below.
IMO man needs some work so that it doesn't core/crash on this condition.
