I'm confused; wasn't that (use '-c') what I originally said the solution
seemed to be?

The prompt problem was (AFAICT) caused by man failing to turn off bold
(at least that's what Aaron apparently confirmed). Anyway, from what I
can see, '-c' causes a totally different 'style' of output to be
produced that 'less' understands, which is why this makes the problem go
away.
Personally, I have never heard of '\e[22' turning off bold. My guess
would be that the real solution here is to fix the TERMINFO database.
