I can't reproduce that. Can you debug it?
I've some clue: doing an 'apropos AFM' first I get among others:
Font::AFM(3pm) - Interface to Adobe Font Metrics files
while locate returns:
/usr/share/man/man3/Font::AFM.3pm
Positioning the cursor in "Font::AFM(3pm)" gives a perfect man page!
Positioning the cursor in "/usr/share/man/man3/Font::AFM.3pm" gives the
error I reported!
In the first case *Messages* contains:

Invoking man 3pm Font::AFM in the background

let: Can't find the Font::AFM.3pm manpage
It's obvious that the line that contained the argument(s) to man was
scanned incorrectly when only the file name of the man page was given
('Font::AFM.3pm' instead of '3pm Font::AFM'). The same error happens I
present that file name to man:
/usr/share/man/man1/ls.1
Could be I am not reporting a bug but requesting a feature ...
