I normally develop with oldstable, and check with Debian testing.
Both have mandoc (different versions) producing the same error message.

ii  mandoc         1.14.5-1     amd64        BSD manpage compiler toolset

ii  mandoc         1.14.6-1+b1  amd64        BSD manpage compiler toolset

(resolving this is too late for this weekend, and I'm working to flush out
