I tried on a Linux machine and I got the same results. It's using an

which one are you using. On BSD 10, I would imagine that is 1.21.

The gibberish are part of the macro code that is seeping in because of
the continuation lines. I know that groff is finicky
regarding strings and they tend to cause problems when splitted. 
I tried adding \c \n and \& to mixed results.  \n did not work, it gives
a warning. \c never completes the caption and \&, well does nothing really. 


So, I ran out of pixie dust. Perhaps one with more knowledge can pitch
in.
