Thanks, fixed for 2.5.7.

* src/encodings.c (get_default_device): If the locale encoding is
ASCII, then use the ascii device even if preconv is available; it
will do a better job than producing UTF-8 output and then recoding
that to ASCII (Debian bug #547695).
Here's a workaround for the time being, although it's a bit ugly:
LC_ALL=C man -E ascii perlfunc
(You can put '-E ascii' in $MANOPT if you like.)
