It's not the Hs register--I also looked at that.  When a document that
worked fine for years suddenly doesn't work with a new groff version,
it's probably not the document.  I (sorta) fixed the problem by
commenting out the call of misc@tag, which works to the same effect as
Mike's solution.

The problem seems to arise from a horizontal motion

    \h'\\n[misc*.k]u'\c

near the end of misc@tag.  I don't really understand the HTML
implementation, and had to get a proper PDF done, so I commented out the
call rather than really fixing the problem.

I have little need to generate HTML from groff, so I haven't revisited
the problem.  I did post a bug report (https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54909)
a year or so ago.
