I don't understand this report. GNU troff has plenty of error messages.
$ test -z "$(printf '\\' | groff 2>&1)" && echo empty input
$ test -z "$(printf '\\' | groff -E 2>&1)" && echo empty input
empty input
That's groff 1.22.4. groff Git HEAD prefixes such messages with "error:".

Yes, that sounds correct to me.
