In addition, for PROMPT, it says only that the function prompts with PROMPT.

It should say that PROMPT is a string that is acceptable as the first argument
to `format', and that `format' is passed, as a second argument, the result of
applying `dired-mark-prompt' to ARG and FILES.

IOW, PROMPT is *not* a prompt string.  It is a format string used to create a
prompt string.
