State-Changed-Why: 
I cannot reproduce this under HEAD with the new man shell script. So it seems
this issue only exists for the GNU version of man. Although GNU man still exists
in HEAD, i think there is no WITH_* or WITHOUT_* variable to force buildworld to
rely on it instead of the man shell script.
Eventually GNU man will vanish from the src tree. I'm not sure whether there are
any plans to MFC it to FreeBSD 8.x, but I doubt it will be MFC'ed to
FreeBSD 7.x.
