In this case, "_OPT" is a subscript, which is translated into
"MYCMD\d\s-2OPT\s+2\u". For some reason, groff doesn't recognize this
markup.

Anyway, you probably don't want a subscript here. Locally, you can use
a macro instead:

  MYCMD\under{}OPT

or simply disable subscript (and superscript) for the whole document:

  #+OPTIONS: ^:nil
