It appears that in 55c7adc3a2b3919c7f50fc1338f9b33ef2a2a342 Integral constraint was removed from int so now the following is possible:

λ> sformat ("an int: "%int%"!") "No way!"
"an int: No way!!"

@chrisdone was there some motivation behind that removal that I don't see?

That was removed at GHC's suggestion of redundant constraints. This was a mistake. I'll add it back at some point.
