It works here, under zsh as well as under bash. Check with a new user.
Are you using aliases?

I don't see anything similar being called on my system.
I suggest you run something like:
strace -o foo.strace -f -e execve -e signal= -q -v -s 200 man vim
and attach the resulting foo.strace (warning: contains sensitive
information).
Also, please mention the version of man you are using (dpkg -l man-db),
and your environment (env > foo.env, warning: contains sensitive
information).
Bye,
