Yes, it does, and this is what they look like in the troff source:

[..]
.\" These are some notes on conventions to maintain for greatest
.\" portability of this man page to various other versions of
.\" nroff.
.\"
.\" When you want a \ to appear in the output, use \e in the man page.
.\"
.\" Evidently not all versions of nroff allow the omission of the
.\" terminal " on a macro argument.  Thus what could be written
.\"
.\" .B "bold stuff
.\"
.\" in true nroffs must be written
.\"
.\" .B "bold stuff"
.\"
.\" instead.
[..]

So, it seems like the author intended those blank lines not to
appear at all, but just be comments. Is this non-default behavior
of our man-page formatter?
