Research direction
Start with the manpage generation path exercised by make manpages, then reproduce the issue using the test page and the changes in pull request #5092. Compare target/debug/man/test.1 with the Debian reference and run man target/debug/man/test.1; done means Markdown content is rendered as valid ROFF in the generated page.
