With native MSVCRT there is no difference between %Fp and %p. You can see with the output on the MS web page about _heapwalk. And you can try quite easily in our test suite. Maybe a 16 bit msvcrt might give different results.
I think the best solution is to ignore it for now, justified by a test case.
