Nothing.  This is a known limitation.  Try soelim directly:

  soelim file1 file2 ... | groff ...

Hmm.  Adding -V to your incantation to show the groff pipe gives

  preconv -eutf8 Input.ms | soelim | troff -ms -Tps | grops

Perhaps it makes sense to exchange preconv and soelim in the groff
pipe?

  soelim Input.ms | preconv -eutf8 | troff -ms -Tps | grops

This should be easy to implement, methinks...
