Details:

I see this bug in groff 1.22.2.

A line centered with .ce can sometimes extend past the right margin.  Adding
enough text eventually causes the line to be broken so it correctly stays
within the margins.  The bug is illustrated in the second centered example
below.

.ll 2i
some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some text some text some text
.sp
.ce
some centered text
.sp
some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some text some text some text
.sp
.ce
quite a bit more centered text in this case
.sp
some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some text some text some text
.sp
.ce
so, quite a bit more centered text in this case
.sp
some text some text some text some text some text some text
some text some text some text some text some text some text
