I'm aware of it.  :)

The better way would be a resolution of Savannah #64134.[1]

You have have noticed that I've been giving fresh attention to how groff
man(7) handles the diversions it creates.

I've kept the "bad" page structure intact to make it really easy to tell
when I've solved the nested diversion problem.  My working copy has had
some "solutions", but they throw off line adjustment and look ugly.  I
think at this point it's simply a matter of whacking away at the problem
with careful attention to environmental issues.  I feel close.  If I get
unbearably stuck, I'll change the page to avoid the warnings.

Thank you for landing the changes that bring hyperlinks to life in
man(7) for PDF!  That was the immediate cause of me digging into the
aforementioned ticket.

Regards,
Branden
