Filed as <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?68601>. How perverse! POSIX Issue 8 documents groff's usage to date as supported by conforming implementations. Even POSIX Issue 4 from 1994 suggests that the invocation I used would be supported by conforming implementations. I don't think Busybox had been born yet back then.
