No, it would be:

update request {
	Tmp-Octets-0 := "%t \001\002\003\004"
}

linelog {
	format = &Tmp-Octets-0
}

But only v3.1.x linelog allows the use of templates as format strings in linelog.

The reason why using octal escape sequences in the format string doesn't work, is because the escape function that's used, converts them back to the octal representation.

So they go octal -> binary -> octal.
