Follow-up Comment #2:
Thanks, Deri. I had a senior moment.
The bug was true of groff 1.22.4, which is no longer the current release, and
which I inadvertently tested (juggling 3 versions of groff in my build
environment).
It does not affect the version of gropdf in groff 1.23.0.
But it _does_ affect pdfmom, which seems unaware of the option and reads from
standard input and calls groff.
$ ./pdfmom --version
GNU pdfmom (groff) version 1.23.0.138-38f96
$ echo | ./pdfmom --help
usage: groff [-abceghijklpstvzCEGNRSUVXZ] [-dcs] [-ffam] [-mname] [-nnum]
[-olist] [-rcn] [-wname] [-Darg] [-Fdir] [-Idir] [-Karg] [-Larg]
[-Mdir] [-Parg] [-Tdev] [-Wname] [files...]
-h print this message
-v print version number
-e preprocess with eqn
-g preprocess with grn
-j preprocess with chem
-k preprocess with preconv
-p preprocess with pic
-s preprocess with soelim
-t preprocess with tbl
-G preprocess with grap
-J preprocess with gideal
-R preprocess with refer
-a produce ASCII description of output
-b print backtraces with errors or warnings
-c disable color output
-dcs define a string c as s
-ffam use fam as the default font family
-i read standard input after named input files
-l spool the output
-mname read macros tmac.name
-nnum number first page n
-olist output only pages in list
-rcn define a number register c as n
-wname enable warning name
-z suppress formatted output
-C enable compatibility mode
-Darg use arg as default input encoding. Implies -k
-E inhibit all errors
-Fdir search dir for device directories
-Idir search dir for soelim, troff, and grops. Implies -s
-Karg use arg as input encoding. Implies -k
-Larg pass arg to the spooler
-Mdir search dir for macro files
-N don't allow newlines within eqn delimiters
-Parg pass arg to the postprocessor
-S enable safer mode (the default)
-Tdev use device dev
-U enable unsafe mode
-V print commands on stdout instead of running them
-Wname inhibit warning name
-X use X11 previewer rather than usual postprocessor
-Z don't postprocess
The foregoing is groff 1.22.4's usage message, because that's what's in the
$PATH.
If this is fixed in your branch and you're happy with it, you can set the
status to "Ready for Merge" and "Planned Release" to "1.24.0".
