xterm (version 203) works just fine on my GNU/Linux box, using
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 and GROFF_NO_SGR=yes. Same thing with
LANG=en_US.iso88591.
However, I can confirm your problem with xterm if GROFF_NO_SGR is not
set. Hmm. Looks like a bug in xterm and derived terminals...
Can you file a bug report to the xterm people?
