There's a call to DEVTAG in the definition of @MC (to which MC
is aliased) which is responsible for this, though I can't at the
moment guess what function this could serve (ultimately DEVTAG
is a wrapper around tag (which I couldn't find in groff(7), but
which probably works similar to \X)). I'm guessing this call
leaves an empty something in the output stream. Perhaps the
call should be confined to a separate environment.
