M-x setenv RET MANOPT RET -X100-12 RET M-x man RET man RET

This command shows the manual page for man in a new gxditview window. Emacs cannot display the manual page because it has not been rendered to text. But the error message is "Can't find the cat manpage". The message is wrong. Emacs did not try to find the cat manpage, it tried to retrieve it and it did not work.

If the code in man.el tried to find the manual page by itself, it would 
not fail because the manual page is there. It succeeds if MANOPT is not 
set and my MANOPT should not affect the manual page search algorithm.

That depends on how we try to find the manual page(s).  The
implementation calls 'man' in a special way, which evidently fails
under the value of MANOPT you set.
