Using Guix b17268b, I get:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ diff -r --no-dereference /gnu/store/b5f4qcdm8qkxyq2vm8jxjc1a5hsjlzlg-groff-1.22.4-doc{,-check}
Binary files /gnu/store/b5f4qcdm8qkxyq2vm8jxjc1a5hsjlzlg-groff-1.22.4-doc/share/doc/groff/examples/mom/typesetting.pdf and /gnu/store/b5f4qcdm8qkxyq2vm8jxjc1a5hsjlzlg-groff-1.22.4-doc-check/share/doc/groff/examples/mom/typesetting.pdf differ
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

And the PDF difference reads:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ diffoscope /gnu/store/b5f4qcdm8qkxyq2vm8jxjc1a5hsjlzlg-groff-1.22.4-doc{,-check}/share/doc/groff/examples/mom/typesetting.pdf
