Ah, I should point out that my corrected document doesn't work as
desired with stock groff 1.23.0. This was due to a bug/regression.

commit 7fbda04469c0581e7d6394291ca3d1c13483c3ed
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robin...@gmail.com>

[ms]: Fix Savannah #66339 (starting doc w/ `DS`).
* tmac/s.tmac (DS): Break line unconditionally, ensuring that that the
top-of-page trap springs even if the document starts with a call of
this macro.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?66339>. Thanks to Joerg van den
Hoff for the report. Problem introduced by me in commit 1887bbe68c, 5
November 2021.

If you need to work around the problem, then as Tadziu noted you can
invoke `rs` after ending the display.
A second bug is thus implicated.

[ms]: Fix Savannah #64005.
* tmac/s.tmac (@break-page, bp): Define alias for `bp` request and
wrapper for `bp` to (if needed) temporarily disable no-space mode, so
that a document's `bp` requests are honored even if no-space mode is
on, as can happen after displays. Fixes a regression from groff
1.22.4 and historical ms implementations introduced by me on 6 July
when resolving Savannah #62688.
Fixes <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?64005>. Thanks to Michał
Kruszewski for reporting the problem and Dave Kemper for identifying the
cause.
ANNOUNCE: Acknowledge Michał.
Sorry about that.
Regards,
Branden
