This is, IMO, a bug in the Spanish translation of po4apod-display-po(1).
It uses:
.SH "NOMBRE DE REFERENCIA"
The English form of that section name is mandated to be NAME. lexgrog
recognises NOMBRE in Spanish, which when I last looked was the common
form used in that language. "NOMBRE DE REFERENCIA" is not recognised by
lexgrog, and it's unnecessarily long anyway. I'd rather not add more
forms to lexgrog unless absolutely necessary.
If you change this to:
.SH NOMBRE
or:
.SH "NOMBRE"
then the problem is reduced to the remainder of this bug.

These are both man-db problems. I've fixed them upstream:
Thu Dec 2 00:31:31 GMT 2010 Colin Watson <cjwat...@debian.org>
Handle roff named glyphs and perldoc strings in NAME sections
(Debian bug #601025).
* src/lexgrog.l (glyphs, perldocs): New arrays.
(MAN_NAME): Call newline_found on encountering \& at the start of
a line. Call add_glyph_to_whatis on roff named glyphs, and
add_perldoc_to_whatis on perldoc strings.
(compare_macro, add_macro_to_whatis, add_glyph_to_whatis,
add_perldoc_to_whatis): New functions.
* NEWS: Document this.

lexgrog doesn't use a preprocessor, nor groff. Any fancy stuff people
put in the NAME section has to be parsed by steam-power (so it's best to
keep the NAME section as simple as possible).
Thanks,
