Follow-up Comment #1, bug #65886 (group groff):

Not all repeated words are erroneous.  You have to look at the context.

[comment #0 original submission:]
> ! ./man/groff.7.man: 5736 --> to
> ! ./man/groff_diff.7.man: 772 --> to

These are both copies of the same sentence, the relevant phrase of which is
"drawing position that GNU troff automatically returned to to close the
figure."  It a shorthand (but perfectly idiomatic) way of writing "drawing
position to which GNU troff automatically returned in order to close the
figure."

The rest do seem to be typos.
