I am very sorry but I left the most important point to
the others.

it was fixed with groff_1.16-1 and I also verified it just now.

Well, I believed by mistake that the problem was not of groff 
but of man-db so I did not imagine to check with groff_1.16-1
although I knew that Sano-san sent the patch.

BTW, to tell the truth, I am most interested in the following

and now I guess I can understand.  Perhaps "Of course" was
badly placed or used.  My intention was as follows:

Unfortunately 'man foo' does not display Japanese characters 
at all with japanese manual pages but, of course, 'man foo' 
works well with english manual pages.

Thanks for your great effort.
