Ok, this provided the hint :) Due to the special handling required of title and name in the manpage processing, the header and following "name" sections are processed specially, and earlier than they would be for normal documents. That means it is done before the docname is defined, not after. You will notice that docname does substitute into the synopsis which is more normally processed. Since this is hard coded, I'm not sure what you can do except use your favourite external processor to substitute the document name before passing to asciidoc.
