Odd.  That doesn't tally with what Ken said earlier.

    - Tell MacOS X users to install groff(1) (the man(1) script will try
      to call groff if it encounters a warning like this from mandoc)

Perhaps he's referring to a different man script provided by another
implementation or a different version of macOS?
