In GNU emacs version 18.55.2 

The manual-entry command (man.el) has a small bug due to a minor
oversight in the function nuke-nroff-bs.  The man pages have lists of
items introduced by "o" overstruck with "+".  nuke-nroff-bs does not
clean this up when formatting the buffer.  For example, here's part of
the man page for "open" (SunOS) as formatted by manual-entry:

                    The low-order 12 bits of the  file  mode  are
                    set to the value of mode, modified as follows
                    (see creat(2)):

                    o+  All bits set in  the  file  mode  creation
                       mask  of  the  process  are  cleared.  See
                       umask(2).

                    o+  The save text image after execution bit of
                       the mode is cleared.  See chmod(2).

                    o+  The set group ID on execution bit  of  the
                       mode  is  cleared if the effective user ID
                       of the process is not super-user  and  the


The fix is simple; here's the diff for man.el:
106a107,109
> 	    ((and (= preceding ?o) (= following ?\+))
> 	     ;; o\b+ 
> 	     (delete-char -2))

With the fix in place, the text is formatted as follows:

                    The low-order 12 bits of the  file  mode  are
                    set to the value of mode, modified as follows
