Sorry for the late reply.

Please read groff_ms.man (or groff.info); you are initializing the
page and paragraph parameters in a way groff's ms macros don't
recognize.  In particular, you are not using the proper ms number
registers but directly using the bare roff requests.

Instead of saying

  .ds CH

  .LP
  .nh
  .po 0.5i
  .ll 7.5i
  .ps 11
  .vs 0.175i
  .de PP
  .sp 0.08i
  .ti 0.3i
  ..
  .PP

you should do the following:

  .ds CH
  .
  .nr PO 0.5i
  .nr LL 7.5i
  .
  .nr PS 11
  .nr VS 0.175i
  .
  .nr PD 0.08i
  .nr PI 0.3i
  .
  .nh
  .PP

and everything works as expected.
