It isn't a bug in man. It is a problem with the mdoc macro package.
Technically, mdoc.samples is using a *roff macro in a section that
shouldn't be using that macro (the .Rv macro). I've known about this
problem for quite some time, but just haven't been willing to commit
the fix, since mdoc.samples(7) is the only man page that spits out
this error. I do have a fixed version of the mdoc macro package
that ignores this error for section 7 man pages. Since I've seen
a few comments on this in the past few months, I suppose I'll
break down and commit my changes.
