[Groff] Bug in soelim

The manpage for soelim (and groff) says of the -I option: "specify a directory 
to search for files (both those on the command line 
and those named in .so requests). The current directory is always searched 
first."

Reality (with foo.ms in the current directory and in 
/usr/share/groff/site-tmac/):

% soelim -I/usr/share/groff/site-tmac/ foo.ms bar.ms | grep '\.lf'
.lf 1 /usr/share/groff/site-tmac/foo.ms
.lf 1 ./bar.ms

% soelim -I/usr/share/groff/site-tmac/ ./foo.ms bar.ms | grep '\.lf'
.lf 1 /usr/share/groff/site-tmac/./msweb.ms
.lf 1 ./bar.ms

Is there a workaround I can use to force groff/soelim to read foo.ms in the 
current directory?
