As near as I can tell, this is the "correct" output. Here's the source.

As an example, each of the following commands will input the program
\`slithy_toves.c\' and write its indented text to
\`slithy_toves.out\':

This is, I believe, asking for combining characters. i.e., it is the
markup one would use to create an accented c, which plain ascii output
only approximates as c'. The leading ` may or may not appear depending
on whether xterm or whatever decides to combine it with the space.

I've been running the diff for a while and didn't notice anything
unusual in our manpages because we use the correct markup.
