You may have the default value of "tr" for ispell-filter-hook when you
want "deroff".  The following works in a nroff-mode-hook

    (setq nroff-mode-hook '(lambda ()	
			     (ispell-troffize-settings)))

    (defun ispell-troffize-settings ()
      "Troff-ize settings needed for ispell on such a buffer"
      (interactive)
      (setq ispell-filter-hook "deroff")
      (setq ispell-filter-hook-args '("-w"))
      (setq ispell-words-have-boundaries nil))

Or you may have the wrong args for ispell-filter-hook-args, since the
"tr" arg syntax is different between systems.  This works on our SunOS
systems.

(defvar ispell-filter-hook-args '("-cs" "[A-Z][a-z]'" "[\012*]")
  "Argument LIST to pass to ispell-filter-hook")
(make-variable-buffer-local 'ispell-filter-hook-args)

================
ispell-filter-hook's value is "deroff"

Documentation:
Filter to pass a region through before sending it to ispell.
Must produce output one word per line.  Typically this is set to tr,
deroff, detex, etc.
================
ispell-filter-hook-args's value is ("-w")

Documentation:
Argument LIST to pass to ispell-filter-hook
