It is documented in the tbl man page.
The line drawing commands had been introduced for pic (AFAIK). That may be the
reason that \l \L is used instead of \D'l ...'.
Or that \l \L also work with nroff. Although lines from tbl processed with
nroff seem not to work correctly yet in Heirloom.

If it's your own document I suggest to use \D'l ...' instead of \l.
If it's *required* for documents you can't change it is maybe the simplest
solution to implement that "-g" option for troff too.
