It seems that WoMan can no longer handle the case where a manpage loads another one with a .so request. At least I got the error
WoMan can only format man pages written with the usual `-man' macros when trying to view the manpage for dpkg-buildpackage, which consists of a single line: .so man1/dpkg-source.1 Emacs 21.4 handles this well, and I'm sure that it worked in CVS at least until a few months ago, too.
