Uh, oh, this is a bug in groff itself due to bad interaction between
tbl and eqn. Thanks for the report!
The problem is that UTP uses the backtick character (`) for short eqn
formulae. However, code emitted by tbl contains this:
.tm1 "warning: file `\n[.F]', around line \n[.c]:
.tm1 " table wider than line width
Obviously the single backquote character in .tm1 ruins everything
afterwards...
Two possible quick fixes:
. Add the `nowarn' parameter to all global tbl options, this is,
change for example
.TS
center,box
to
.TS
center,box,nowarn
. Use e.g. `$' instead of the backtick for all short eqn formulae.
Actually, this is quite a serious problem IMHO: How can I guarantee
that tbl and eqn harmonize? Maybe ignore .tm and .tm1 lines
completely?

PS: There are more problems while compiling UTP which I will analyze
later.
