Great news, I've (finally) made some progress!
On a suggestion from Christopher Baines, I compared the strace of a
working man and Guix' man.
I noticed that Guix man failed to find "preconv".
If I install groff-minimal into my user profile, the issue disappears
indeed. So it's just a matter of letting man-db find preconv.
I've tried the following substitution:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(substitute* "lib/encodings.c"
(("const char \\*groff_preconv = NULL;")
(string-append "const char *groff_preconv = \""
(assoc-ref inputs "groff-minimal")
"/bin/preconv"
"\";")))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Surprisingly, man only displays this on every call:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
/gnu/store/6dv1q0s8rlf1ndaqx2qhnkiz9x4840ba-man-db-2.8.3/bin/man: /gnu/store/mpjn4jfx5i8jxblfj538n22hv56rdnhw-groff-minimal-1.22.3/bin/preconv: Segmentation fault
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
However, calling
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
echo "hêlló" | /gnu/store/mpjn4jfx5i8jxblfj538n22hv56rdnhw-groff-minimal-1.22.3/bin/preconv -e UTF-8
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
works.
I'm stuck here... Anyone?
