The trivial problem with this change is that the \ in front of the new -T flag is missing. The slightly larger problem is that it hard-codes into the man page text an assumption about the user's encoding environment. Were this difficult to avoid, that'd be one thing, but all that would have change is the "groff" command to "nroff," since nroff.sh is pretty robust at figuring out the user's encoding. And nroff has already been mentioned on this page a few times, so it wouldn't be coming out of left field at this point.
