First of all, script is broken.
Any man page that contains ".so whatever.num" when the "whatever.num" is
compressed is broken after compression.
I don't have that behavior and I have man pages with that particular
style:
modules.dep.5.xz modules.dep.bin.5.xz
ld.so.8.xz ld-linux.so.8.xz
They all open fine here. The problem you are seeing is that man
decides which decompressor to use based on the extension. Once you
gzip modules.dep.5, it should be modules.dep.5.gz after compression.
When you install the man pages from the man-pages package you have
targets of allbz2 or allgz you will see that the man pages keep the
compressed extension.
Also I'm using man 1.6g.

Don't you mean file suffix?
According to "Unix rules for file names" the period is just another
character in the file spec.
I am under the impression that unix or unix like systems don't have file
extensions, I do know the windows does have file extensions. Is there
some confusion here?
