I get

    $ groff -o /dev/null
    troff: bad output page list
    ^D
    $

I think that's correct.  It passes it on to troff:

    $ groff -V -o /dev/null
    troff -o/dev/null -Tps | grops
    $ 

And troff's -o wants the page numbers to output.

It's happier with

    $ groff -o 42,314 </dev/null
    $

Were you thinking groff's -o is like sort's?
