Follow-up Comment #3, bug #58736 (project groff):

The footnoted input file produces the same incorrect PostScript output in
Heirloom troff, and the unfootnoted one produces the same correct PostScript
output.  (Heirloom nroff output from both input files is pretty hopelessly
broken.)

According to the header blocks of the respective files, groff's -me macros are
forked from version 2.31 of Eric Allman's original set, and Heirloom's from
version 2.14.  If there's a repository of these versions of the -me package as
they existed before forking, I can't find it.
