Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Summary: Man page table rendering, keywords

Details: FreeBSD 8.x i386
nroff -man fetchmail.man
There seems to be some 'Keyword/Option Summary'
tables, but they just render to what may be a long linewrap
with the above nroff.

And from TODO, some projects use tables for this too.
'- Add info whether Keywords are global, server or user keywords'

       l l l lw34.  Keyword   Opt  Mode Function _ set daemon     -d        T{
       Set  a  background  poll  interval  in  seconds.   T}  set   postmaster
                     T{  Give  the  name  of  the  last-resort  mail recipient
       (default: user running fetchmail, "postmaster" if run by the root user)
       T}  set     bouncemail             T{  Direct  error mail to the sender
       (default) T} set no bouncemail             T{ Direct error mail to  the
       local postmaster (as per the 'postmaster' global option above).  T} set
       no  spambounce              T{  Do   not   bounce   spam-blocked   mail

Comment:
As the fetchmail.man comment banner at the top reveals, 
the roff source is meant to be preprocessed through tbl, i. e.

nroff -man -t fetchmail.man

And grog will also figure that out:

$ grog fetchmail.man 
groff -t -man fetchmail.man

Not a bug, closing report as invalid.
