Yes, eqn inserts various computations so that line continuations in
macros don't work. As a rule of thumb, don't use eqn stuff in macro

I tried on a Linux machine and I got the same results. It's using an
older version, Groff 1.18.1. You might want to do a groff -v and see
which one are you using. On BSD 10, I would imagine that is 1.21.
