This is documented behavior since cor
utput) is one way that had been
discussed to avoid it, but just wondering (since you're going to be working
on it anyway) if it might be possible for help2man to recognize the type of
indentation construct that results in the extra vertical space and just avoid
inserting an addtional ".IP"?

You can argue that it ought to have been done differently, but it is the
documented behavior.

Is there any interest/motivation for consistentizing {coreutils printf, bash
printf} with glibc printf? There's a minor but notable inconsistency between
them for %a

NOTE: I do not know whether the program behavior and documentation described
in the above post is still extant in coreutils release 9.

h says essentially the same things) rather than
having two sets of mutually conflicting documentation co-existing within
coreutils. The proposed patchset does that.
See above posting for details. It's very long, but it lays out the entire
story from start to finish, with all known back references that I'm aware of.
