There is a de facto standard for JSONP that a user can specify the callback with the syntax callback=?, libraries like jQuery assume that the callback will be a value like that (or less common something like jsonp_callback) Geoserver only allows it to be specified as part of a longer value FORMAT_OPTIONS=callback%3A? while there may be some internal reasons that that syntax is necessary there is not reason it needs to be externally visable and the query param processor (or whatever it is exactly that reads them) could map callback=? to FORMAT_OPTIONS=callback%3A?.
