--- Comment #3 from G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com> ---
I can reproduce the problem on my Debian system with the following.

$ zcat /usr/share/man/man1/mksh.1.gz | groff -man -Tutf8 | head

is  a command interpreter intended for both interactive and shell
script use.  Its command language is a superset of the shell lan=E2=80=90
guage and largely compatible to  the  original  Korn  shell.   At
times, this manual page may give scripting advice; while it some=E2=80=90
times  does  take  portable  shell scripting or various standards
into account all information is first and foremost presented with
in mind and should be taken  as  such.   Please  refer  to:  Most
builtins  can  be  called  directly, for example if a link points
from its name to the shell; not all make sense, have been  tested

In other words, all I had to do was say "-man" instead of "-mandoc".

That would make this a duplicate of bug #273245 (and bug #273565).
