Mike pointed out you need real ASCII tab characters to have your example
work. `\t' is used in `copy mode', e.g. when defining a macro, to
create a tab that's interpreted later, e.g. when the macro is invoked.
$ printf '%s\n' .nf '.de m' 'foo\tbar' 'x\ty\tz\tz\ty' .. .m |
> nroff | grep .
foo bar
x y z z y
