Tue 13 Mar 2018 03:08:30 PM UTC, comment #4: Why can't it just be fixed in the man pages? Its fixed everywhere else including your own documentation.

Tue 13 Mar 2018 02:53:24 PM UTC, comment #3: If that's important, there is an install_builtins target in the Makefile that does the edit in the man page before installing it.

Tue 13 Mar 2018 02:45:10 PM UTC, comment #2: Can you please reconsider? This is not a problem with the man implementation. Mandoc is just a little bit more strict about correct man pages.

Tue 13 Mar 2018 01:32:07 PM UTC, comment #1: You've hit on the problem: your solution does not work across all implementations of `man'. If a distribution wants to install the builtins or rbash man pages, they should modify the .so directive to whatever's appropriate.

Corresponding source code
I can't comment on what slackware does. I can only describe what bash does as I distribute it, and there has been an install_builtins target in doc/Makefile.in since bash-4.0. The builtins.1 man page hasn't been installed by default since at least that time.
