Should be fixed now.  The .Ql macro is different in nroff (-Tascii)
and troff (-Tps) modes in mdoc(7).  (The difference is documented
in the mdoc(7) manpage.)  In troff mode, .Ql internally uses the
=2ELi macro to print arguments in "literal" font.  In nroff mode,
=2EQl is merely equivalent to .Sq, but in fact it shold be equivalent
to .Sq Li.  I will fix it.
