That I don't have enough information yet.

Render the page directly with groff.

(export GROFF_SGR=1; zcat $(man -w membarrier) | groff -Tutf8 -man > grotty.out)

Use a text editor or hex dumper to confirm that SGR escape sequences are
present in "grotty.out".

Then view the file with a variety of pagers to see which, if any,
misbehave.
