From looking at this, the man page formatting is ok, but there is a
problem with the buttons added to allow following references.

The first overlay button added by `Man-highlight-references0' uses a
start position in the middle of a subsection heading in the "SEE ALSO"
section, so something is not right with the regexps that locate these
references.
