(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately not gotten
any responses.)
I'm unable to reproduce this bug in Emacs 27, but I'm not sure I
understand the instructions. You say "Select groff, then groff.1".
I tried
M-x woman RET groff RET
and got a properly formatted groff man page.
I then tried
M-x woman RET groff.1 RET
and got "no match", because groff.1 isn't a valid choice here.
