Interesting.  Testing the file my bug reporter sent with groff
1.81.1 (downloaded from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/groff) and mom 1.4.1 

    ./groff/bin/groff groff -M ~/Testing/groff/share/groff/1.18.1/tmac/ -mom 
-Tps letter.mom | less

I am unable to reproduce the PostScript file with hex strings
instead of text.
