It also works if the MANPATH environment variable is set.
The problem appears to be this:
if (conf->manpath.sz == 0)
manpath_parseline(&conf->manpath, manpath_default, 0);
If -m is specified, conf->manpath.sz will be 1, not 0.
An ugly way to fix this is:
if (conf->manpath.sz == !!auxp)
manpath_parseline(&conf->manpath, manpath_default, 0);
