Follow-up Comment #1:

Well, it's definitely not a bug.  In groff, a `diversion' really does what its
name says: It diverts *formatted* groff output from the normal output stream
to a macro.  Of course, this includes line numbering.

The proper way to solve this issue is to switch environments, e.g.

  ... before diversion ...
  .ev my-env
  .di my-div
  ... diversion text ...
  .br
  .di
  .ev
  ... after diversion ...
  .di my-div
  ... more text ...

(and don't forgot to end a diversion with `.br' to finish the current
partially collected line).

I'm closing this as invalid.  However, I invite you to discuss documentation
improvements on the groff mailing list, which is a better place than this
tracker issue.
