What sources did you built this from, on what architecture?

This happens, when the manual pages are built while

LC_CTYPE=iso_8859_1
or
LESSCHARSET=latin1

and you use old sources (where I'm not sure how old "old" is). Nowadays, 
those variables are reset before formatting the manual pages.

The <AD> is a iso-8859-1 soft hyphen, and if you use LESSCHARSET=latin1, it
is only displayed (as a hyphen!) when at the end of a line..

You can read about this in the mailing list archives.
