I don't think woman needs fixing. Woman is failing because jka-compr
is failing, and that's where this can be fixed.
To see jka-compr failing, evaluate this:
(let ((default-directory "/a/b/c"))
(insert-file-contents "/usr/share/man/man1/ls.1.gz"))
I see a backtrace like this:

and is in gzip format)
