Follow-up Comment #1, bug #67711 (group groff): pchar is telling the truth, because your input file doesn't change any properties of ":" itself. It creates a class, then sets a flag on that class.
The usefulness of using a class in this manner is that you can add new flags
to a character without clobbering whatever flags the character currently has
set (which the language provides no way to query).
