[bug #64728] diversion widths reported when using eqn mark/lineup feature inconsistent with Heirloom

[Dave]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #64728 (project groff):

[comment #2 comment #2:]

Heirloom nroff reports the same zero width, so if this is indeed a bug, it's a
widespread one.

A curious difference, though, is that groff outputs a break and a blank line
after the "Diversion:" line.  (The piped "sed" masks the blank line, but
piping through "uniq" or "cat -s" instead retains it.)  Heirloom has all
output on the same line.  The diversion includes an explicit break, so
Heirloom seems wrong in omitting it, but I can't account for the blank line in
groff.
