Follow-up Comment #2:
Oh. I need to (temporarily?) retract my +1.
We already have the concept of a fallback character; it's what the .fchar

tty.tmac anyway.
Werner is the person who added this special casing for \[bu] back in 2015.

I'll have to go to the mailing list to see if I can track this down. The
motivation is not spelled out here.
