Also, on macOS, man prints a warning that the page is invalidly formatted. But the garbledness happens on Linux as well, for example. Apparently, our custom table layout doesn't map properly to the man format. But for example, the earlier table "pgbench Automatic Variables", which doesn't use the custom table layout, looks fine. Anyone feel like looking into this further?
