Unfortunately I was not able to reproduce the problem with any of the
files "an", "ansun", or "ansun.tbl" from Illumos-gate, which appears to
be OpenIndiana's upstream for its "text-doctools" package.

https://pkg.openindiana.org/hipster/manifest/0/text%[email protected]%2C5.11-2026.0.0.23098%3A20260605T214231Z

https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/cmd/troff/troff.d/tmac.d/ansun
https://github.com/illumos/illumos-gate/blob/master/usr/src/cmd/troff/troff.d/tmac.d/ansun.tbl

Can you verify that these files on your system, in
"usr/share/lib/tmac/", have the following checksums and sizes?

$ cksum openindiana-doctools-0.5.11/*
3899728472 19008 openindiana-doctools-0.5.11/an
562067901 18198 openindiana-doctools-0.5.11/ansun
3784442836 1818 openindiana-doctools-0.5.11/ansun.tbl

That information will determine if my reproduction procedure is valid.
