I suspect this to be exactly the same bug as discussed here:

Eventually, we will certainly roll a new mandoc release, but i can't
give a time estimate yet when that will happen.
In the meantime, if you want to fix the Debian port, can you simply
include this patch:
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/src/usr.bin/mandoc/out.c.diff?r1=1.54&r2=1.55
into the Debian port here:
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/mdocml/-/tree/master/debian/patches
Does that work for you, as a stopgap measure?
Yours,
Ingo
