Ditto. I reported the issue with the very same manpage in May 2004:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-pretest-bug/2004-05/msg00144.html

The consensus then (off list, with the woman author) was that it would
be nice if woman could at least say "don't know how to format man
pages of type FOO" and produce no output, rather than displaying a
broken page. And also it could "suggest writing to the maintainer of
the man pages in question to suggest using the standard macros"...
