That looks like a bug in groff-1.19 that has been fixed in 1.21.
With groff-1.21 and your test code, i get one blank line between
"hi" and "Use the", which makes more sense given the general
tendency of roff to compress multiple blank lines to one.

Yes, with both OpenBSD and bsd.lv mandoc, i get the "specifies"
aligned under the "i" in "-cookie_file".  I'm just noticing
that the change in alignment happens about two dozen lines above,
below "-cmd_script".  The "comment beginning with..." is still
aligned at 7 (below the 'r'), the "exit" is aligned at 5 (below
the 's').

Yours,
