Is this the way it is supposed to be or a bug?

I have to admit that I have only ever produced Postscript from groff (and troff before that) and then displayed that Postscript directly, sent that same Postscript to the printer, or converted that Postscript to PDF with something else. 30+ year old habits die hard.

That approach to your Postscript output produces no black shadow.
