That is a separate problem, which Emacs handles in the Man-fontify-manpage
function (C-h v). You can even invoke it directly via M-x.
What happens if you run this command:
LC_ALL=C man bash > bash.man
Are there still non-ASCII characters in the bash.man file?

The `man foo` command is basically equivalent to:
nroff -man /usr/man/man?/foo.? | ${PAGER:more}
It works because your terminal interprets the backspace and various escape
sequences that nroff outputs.
