And if you remember, I've warned you back then that breakage of the
kind we see with man.el will surely happen if the SGR is going to be
the default output format without giving some time to the related
packages to catch up.  So far, only Less and Texinfo's Info reader can
handle the SGR sequences produced by Groff.

I'd rather suggest to release a Groff where SGR is turned off by
default.
