You mean the empty line above it?  That's just a ``page break'',
something you gotta live with (or fix nroff or the -mdoc macros, i
suppose).  Even nroff includes one blank line where it think a new
`page' starts.

It's probably a bug in -mdoc.  You can see the page break at exact the
same location (line 65) e.g. in the description of the -k option to
ls(1), while (just to pick another random example) the man page of
sh(1) doesn't experience this effect.
