Yep.  I think I have all of them in groff_char.

You've forgotten to store something in register `a'.

  .de SY
  .  nh
  .  nr a \n(.j
  .  ad l
  .  nr i \n(.i
  .
  .  HP \w'\fB\\$1\fP 'u
  .  B \\$1

I prefer that the argument of a flag is tied to the flag itself.

  .de OP
  .  ie \\n(.$-1 \
  .    RI "[\fB\\$1\fP" "\ \\$2" "]"
  .  el \
  .    RB "[" "\\$1" "]"
  ..

What about faking an italic correction (this is, inserting `\|') right
