I don't think so, as long bash_builins.1.gz didn't have the dirname in
the .so.

:  It seems like man can cope with a .so that points to a .gz if that is the
:  only line, but has problems if the .so points to a .gz when embedded in

That appears to be an accurate description of this issue.

Indeed (same here).

:   Meanwhile, I can distribute
:  bash.1 instead of bash.1.gz since that is all that works with the current
:  version of man.

That does WJFFM. Thanks a lot for your efforts.
