My guess is that it's (partly) due to the following definitions in
/etc/man.conf:

MANPATH /usr/share/man
MANPATH /usr/local/share/man
MANPATH /usr/X11R6/man
MANPATH /usr/local/man
MANPATH /usr/man

...because /usr/man is a symlink to /usr/share/man, and at least on some
machines /usr/X11R6 is a symlink to /usr. I haven't tried removing the
"duplicates" though. The MANPATH_MAP possibly also have an influence.
