While KeyboardInterrupt and ZeroDivisionError are easy to understand, IndexError converted to KeyError doesn't look like a major bug. So I'm not sure about fixing Python 3.5 and 3.6. Maybe it's ok because this function is rarely used and exceptions are not "expected": I hardly imagine a code explicitly catching KeyError to do something on format_map() error. In short, my vote for backport is +0 :-)
