I think this was fixed in
$ git show e86f9fd0c279f593242969a2fbb5ef379272d89d

man/man3/fma.3: ERRORS: Add missing error
There's also a domain error if z is a NaN, so let's simplify wording.
See the comments in the source code, which remind that POSIX doesn't

The following errors can occur:

-Domain error: \f[I]x * y + z\f[], \
-or \f[I]x * y\f[] is invalid and \f[I]z\f[] is not a NaN

but please revise in case there's still anything that needs to be fixed.
Have a lovely day!
