Thanks for the report.  This was another problem exposed by Alexis that
prompted a fix, pushed to our Git repository post the 1.25.0.rc1 tag.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff-commit/2026-07/msg00155.html

If you or I roll a distribution archive from that git commit ID, per my
previous mail, you should find the problem resolved.

Regards,
Branden
