Interesting, why do you do `tramp-cleanup-all-connections'?

Anyway, when I do

  M-x man RET man RET

and then

  M-x tramp-cleanup-all-connections RET

the man buffer is still there.

Sounds like maybe you are doing the man page view in
a remote shell?

Otherwise, I don't see why those should be related ...
