Thanks; belatedly fixed upstream. The statement in the manual page used to be true, but it turned out to be more useful to be able to debug the process of launching the pipeline that includes the pager. I'm not concerned about the debugging information being superficially messed up by the display of the man page; with less, that is typically only a problem if you use LESS=-X or similar anyway.
