It doesn't on my Linux:

IDL Version 5.5a (linux x86). (c) 2001, Research Systems, Inc.
Installation number: 3437-9.
Licensed for use by: Radio and Space Plasma Physics Group

IDL> x=!values.f_nan
IDL> read,format='(f10.3)',b
: x
% Unable to apply format code F to input: "x".
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

Which is what I would expect to happen. x is not valid input for a floating
point conversion - it's a character not a number.
