Do you have a test case?

What is supposed to happen is this:

The ellipsis character (Unicode codepoint U+2026)
is supposed to be generated first, then at the last stage,
character translation, U+2026 is mapped to three dots: "...".

But this works for me. For example, the ellipsis
in the utf8trans.1  man page from the docbook2X distribution
is indeed "..." three dots. Note that doc/charsets.xml
uses a cmdsynopsis with <arg rep="repeat">...</arg>/

Perhaps in your case there was a problem invoking the character translation.
Could you elaborate on what the commands you used to
convert your man pages?

Thanks for the report,
