The recipe is unclear -- I think it's really

M-x man RET man RET
select the man window
M-: (progn (man "XYZ") (read-string "-->"))

In Emacs 27, this will pop out of the read-string, which is the bug?

I'd rather fix the (setq Man-notify-method 'aggressive) regression than
bring that awkward interface bug back.
