Follow-up Comment #1, bug #62182 (project groff):
There are a couple of workarounds.
1. Manually manage dead-tree pagination in man page sources.
Here's an example of how we do that in our own pages.
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-\&.\|.\|.
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.RE
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.EE
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.RE
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-when the command runs.
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man:.br
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.ne 3v
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.\"
====================================================================
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.SH Environment
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.\"
====================================================================
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.TP
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-.I GROFF_FONT_PATH
src/devices/grops/grops.1.man-A list of directories in which to seek the

In other words, you put a `br` and `ne` request before the (sub)section
heading macro call.
This resort to requests is unfortunate.
2. Write something, like a sentence of regular prose establishing context,
between your section heading and (most likely) list of tagged paragraphs.
