"Falsifies" is condescending exaggeration.  man(1)'s contract (such as
it is) doesn't oblige it to precisely pass through the output of
groff(1).

https://gitlab.com/man-db/man-db/-/issues/22 is essentially the same
issue, though I'd see it as a possible code simplification rather than
as a correction.
