One obvious problem was pointed out by Joerg in his 1.20 commit message:
: alas the brain^Wnice sed(1) magic needs to be taught to
: _not_ strip those comments now.
A second reason is mentioned in the `Fix' section of PR 14530:
A positive side-effect of the patch is to remove a number of
"unbalanced .el request" warnings if -ww is enabled.
Also, exactly the same code sequence exists in the .Fx macro in
doc-syms. It should simplify future maintenance if these macros
are kept in sync. (It would be even nicer if the code wasn't
duplicated).

Note that the PR pre-dates revision 1.20 by more than 3 months.
I originally wrote it as a patch on 1.17. I updated my patch to
the then-current 1.19 when I asked Nik if he would commit it (I
though of Nik because I considered these macros as part of the
infrastructure underlying his documentation project).

I disagree with that. The problem exists on -CURRENT from before the
signal changes (late September 1999) and -STABLE as of mid-January
2000 (which is all I can easily test it on). It _definitely_ pre-
dates the recent groff updates.
The test case I have been using is cam(3).
