[bug #63231] groff-man-pages.utf8.txt: grotty: output above first line discarded

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #5, bug #63231 (project groff):

Thanks for the attachment.  While I can reproduce the diagnostic message from
that artifact, it doesn't persuade me that you haven't changed something in
your private groff fork so as to cause the problem.  That file does not rule
out problems in your versions of troff or the macro packages.

When I re-order the production of the collected man page documents as follows,
the problem does not appear.

I recommend you check your local changes in the tmac directory.
