One could argue that the item group should be "incorrect behavior" instead.

    mdoc \*[Lq], \*[Rq]: map to \[lq], \[rq]

    Map these strings equally for all terminal devices.

If you use \[lq] and \[rq] directly in your document, the quotes already render nicely for all terminal devices:  as U+201C and U+201D for devutf8 and as ASCII 0x22 (") for devascii and devlatin1.

So it is not quite clear why doc-nroff should avoid \[lq] and \[rq]
when resolving \*[Lq] and \*[Rq] for devascii and devlatin1.  Quite to the contrary, many people seem to consider "``" and "''" ugly renderings because they look unbalanced.
