The current formatting is intended, and documented in man-pages(7):

     In  the SYNOPSIS, a long function prototype may need to be
     continued over to the next line.  The continuation line is
     indented according to the following rules:

[...]

     (2)  But, where multiple functions in the SYNOPSIS require
          continuation  lines, and the function names have dif‐
          ferent lengths, then align all continuation lines  to
          start in the same column.  This provides a nicer ren‐
          dering  in  PDF  output  (because the SYNOPSIS uses a
          variable width font where spaces render narrower than
          most characters).  As an example:

              int getopt(int argc, char * const argv[],
                         const char *optstring);
              int getopt_long(int argc, char * const argv[],
                         const char *optstring,
                         const struct option *longopts, int *longindex);


Have a lovely day!
Alex

P.S.:  These patches work correctly.  :)
