No. It may be sanity-preserving to use the brace escapes but they are

It seems so. Would you be willing to file this report as a Savannah
ticket?
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=groff&func=additem
People interested in this issue may also wish to review
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45502
as well. It strikes me as possible that these issues are distinct
symptoms of a common problem.
