It appears it does not, and it already is cancelled in groff-1.25.0rc2:
$ cat tmp.man
.TH TEST 1 2026-09-12
.SH DESCRIPTION
normal text
.br
.ti 8n
.TS
box; l.
lone table cell
.TE
This is a really long input line, so long that the output generated from it \
will likely span two output lines.
However, what about the next input line?

It appears mandoc(1) is letting .ti take way too much effect.
