From  several of the replies, I 'm getting the idea that my nroff may be
somewhat unique (flawed??) in eating the Esc character.

Many solutions, including fake characters that are later sed'd into Esc,
but a tip of the hat to Dan Berry for pointing out that ditroff derived
nroff's will accept \N'x' to generate the xth character of the current font. 
Thus \N'27' solved my problem
