My guess is that this is fallout from last month's changes to use \[lq] 
instead of \(lq and so forth. I suggest reverting all those changes to 
tzfile.5, since the upstream tzfile.5 continues to use \(lq etc. for 
compatibility with traditional troff, which is still a thing upstream.

Come to think of it, we should resync tzfile.5 and tzselect.8 from 
upstream for other reasons. Proposed patch to manpages attached. If this 
generates more mandoc warnings, I suppose we can adjust the calls to mandoc.
