Thank you for testing it out, Nate! The missing open parenthesis is a sign the www.tmac that came with groff 1.22.4 is being used, not my new version. Putting it in /etc/groff/ was all I needed to do to, but that may be because I'm on a Debian GNU/Linux system and /usr/share/groff/site-tmac is a symbolic link to /etc/groff.
Try putting my www.tmac in /usr/share/groff/site-tmac/www.tmac and let me know if that fixes it. (It's ugly to put local files in a system directory, I know, but groff doesn't seem to check /usr/local/share/groff/site-tmac/ by default.) —b9 Sidenote: the reason the parenthesis is disappearing is because I extended the .URL macro to allow "prefix-text".
