And that's faulty output since you didn't request `²', for example.

And you're carrying the fault over.  My email that Peter replied to
above shows how groff gets the pipeline order wrong for your needs, and
thus -V's output is wrong too.

preconv is only processing example.mom, converting it to input groff can
read.  When groff does that, it sees the .so and goes off and reads a
second file, one that preconv hasn't converted.  That's you problem.
