Yes, that sounds right... like either an attribute is not being cleared, or even that they are backwards. Um... would this by chance happen any time a bold word gets hyphenated? (Just a WAG.)
It doesn't seem to. If I do "man bash", then the whole DESCRIPTION section is highlighted. From Linux, it looks like only the keywords(bash, sh, ksh) are supposed to be highlighted. (I note that there, it uses '-Tascii' instead of '-Tlatin'.)
But... I only have man-1.5p. Maybe 'man' is the problem?
I could try downgrading. I don't use man that much, so I don't know when it started doing this.

Hmm. What happens if you enter exactly that, but 's/-Tlatin1/-c/'? (Did you say you are using WCLI*/rxvt/xterm...?)
WCLI*. If I type (echo ".pl 11i"; /usr/bin/cat '/usr/share/man/man1/bash.1') | /usr/bin/tbl | /usr/bin/nroff -mandoc | /usr/bin/less -isrR) then I get the same behaviour. Editing man.conf doesn't make any difference, either, nor does substituting '-Tascii'. Even if I exit tcsh and restart it. BTW, TERM = 'cygwin'. Anything other info I can provide? Output of "stty -a"? My entire cygcheck.out? Screenshots? Straces?
