Q. How can I strip off the prefixes from a prefixed array?
A. You can use substitution, like ${values[*]##*:}
Q: Why doesn't this work as expected?

$ dlcall printf "%s\n" "Hello, World"
Hello, World\n

A: Bash strings are not C string literals. If you want C-like escape sequences you can do something like this:

$ dlcall printf $'%s\n' "Hello, World"
Hello, World
