My point was that eqn does *not* intend any semantics.

It appears to be intentional. At least in groff's implementation
of the ms macros, the first call to a paragraph macro is special,
in that it terminates the front matter and begins the body text,
and redefines a number of
This groff -ms document:
.LP
The formula is
.EQ
x = 1
.EN
produces just what one expects. But if .LP is deleted,
the formula is displayed in line. This causes little
trouble in everyday life. Nevertheless, -ms is
misinterpreting the output of eqn in this case
