Which behaviour is correct? Neither seems so to me: for the former, it makes sense that only the literal bar should delimit; for the latter, no other special character (I tested them all) has an interim space.
Answering my own question... obviously the \*(Ba is being re-written as a pipe and inherits the pipe's behaviour, which is what is causing the issue (being a pre-defined string and not a special character, which I failed to notice). This seems to be a compatibility issue with older groff and thus not a bug.
Should it not be "-a -|", then "-|"?
