Don't quite understand the problem. Do you expect a latin1 presentation
to show characters outside the 256-maximum possible?
I'm UTF-8 here; doing
diff <(nroff -man -t groff_char.man) \
<(nroff -man -t -Tlatin1 groff_char.man | iconv -f latin1)
shows differences with the end-of-line hyphens, which is fine, and also
character like

< Π\[OE] OE u0152
< œ \[oe] oe u0153
< IJ \[IJ] IJ u0132 (Dutch)
< ij \[ij] ij u0133 (Dutch)
< ı \[.i] dotlessi u0131 (Turkish)

Seems a perfectly reasonable presentation to me?
Cheers, Ralph.
