I don't have 1.17.2 at hand, but the current groff from the CVS runs
fine (output attached).

Please repeat with the current CVS snapshot, available from

  ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/groff/devel/groff-current.tar.gz

I'm very interested in any problem reports.

BTW, note the following from the PROBLEMS file:

  * groff produces wrapper macros for `ms' and friends which call the
    system's original macros.  Then, to get groff's ms macro package I
    have to use `-mgs' instead `-ms'.  Can I avoid this?

  Yes.  Configure and compile groff as usual, but install it with

    make install tmac_wrap=""

  Then no wrapper files are produced, and `-ms' will use groff's `ms'
  macros.
