Now that help2man is using OSC 8 [1], quite a few man pages are showing
this same problem. For example, from coreutils, "M-x man ls"
is pretty much unreadable.

I suspect this is an upstream emacs bug, but there are many moving
parts, so e.g. I was informed in termux it works fine with /usr/bin/man
from mdoc.

M-x woman also fails to properly display these pages, although in a less
mysterious way. It just passes the grotty macro \X'tty through verbatim.
