This is a bug in -ms which was discussed here a while ago; Werner (I
think) provided a patch, but I guess it wasn't incorporated into the
source. But all you need to do, if you're setting the page-offset to X,
is:
.nr PO X
.po X
making sure you both set the -ms register and explicitly change the offset
yourself.
