Here's one:
xdg-open ~/.wine/drive_c

Parsing this would almost certainly give you xdg-open's manpage, which
is not at all what you want.  The question is whether or not
false-positives like these are dealbreakers.  I'd be inclined to
suggest that they are.

I'd be happy with incomplete manpage coverage, but presenting the
wrong manpage is IMO unacceptable.
