In the current git log you should see:-

    gropdf was choking on -I flag passed by groff.
    
        Now uses these directories to search for included pdfs.
    
        * src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.pl: Handle -I flag, avoid
          unitialised values.
    
        * src/roff/groff/groff.1.man: Include 'X pdf: pdfpic'
    
        * src/devices/gropdf/gropdf.1.man: Document -I flag

==========================================================================

So this issue has been fixed in the git repository. I attach a small patch 
which is what was applied to the git version.
