Read man grotty (if you can see it through the escape sequences!). Groff now uses SGR (ANSI-escape) sequences for bold, underline, color etc. You can temporarily disable it by setting the environment variable GROFF_NO_SGR - this will revert grotty to the old behavior of backspacing and overprinting. Essentially, to get it all to work smoothly on your system *with* SGR sequences, you need to adjust the behavior of your pager - as described in the manpage.
