Follow-up Comment #2:

This appears to be invalid.  The problem is manifest on a Debian buster system
with groff 1.22.4, however testing the 1.22.4 tag in our Git repository does
not reproduce it.

The problem was complicated by some bugs in header trap management that
cropped up and were subsequently fixed in Git, making it appear to me that
this bug was also present more recently when it was not, according to the
bisect I've done.

So, this report should be disregarded.  Closing.
