Follow-up Comment #9, bug #58930 (project groff):

> And it appears to be a one-liner fix (morally).

Turns out another reason it's not quite that simple is this caveat from the
info manual (which is documented, so it can't be a bug):

"Only the current font is checked for... kerns; neither special fonts nor
entities defined with the char request (and its siblings) are taken into
account."

Thus this one-line solution results in incorrect kerning with any characters
adjacent to the \[u2011].
