I updated to man-1.5k-2 too and my '/usr/share/misc/man.conf' contains

PAGER           /bin/less -is

I don't get ESC chars because I setup the fix posted on this mailing list
prior to the fix being provided in the man package. I think it was add the
following to .bashrc.

export LESS=R
export MANPAGER=less

HTH,
Pete
