[bug #65320] [pdf] doesn't guard control characters when emitting bookmark diversion

Follow-up Comment #2, bug#65320 (group groff): There will be a delay in pushing this fix. It seems to have exposed a way for the _mom_ macro package (perhaps) to provoke an assertion failure in the formatter, which should certainly be impossible. /usr/bin/mkdir -p `dirname
