M-x setenv RET MANOPT RET -X100-12 RET M-x man RET man RET

This command shows the manual page for man in a new gxditview window.
Emacs cannot display the manual page because it has not been rendered to
text. But the error message is "Can't find the man manpage". The message
is wrong. Emacs did not try to find the man manpage, it tried to
retrieve it and it did not work.

That depends on how we try to find the manual page(s).  The
implementation calls 'man' in a special way, which evidently fails
under the value of MANOPT you set.

If the code in man.el tried to find the manual page by itself, it would 
not fail because the manual page is there. It succeeds if MANOPT is not 
set and my MANOPT should not affect the manual page search algorithm.

Yes, but it was not clear from the report that it is also the text of
the error message you see.  Thus my question.

But that's not what happened.  man.el actually tries to find the man
page by itself, and displays that message if it fails.

Patches to make the diagnostic smarter in this case, including
figuring out what to use instead of "..." above, are welcome.

The error message is literally:

 > Can't find the cat manpage

This is the title of this bug report, BTW ;-)

The right error message would be:

 > Emacs cannot display the cat manpage, either because it cannot be 
found or because it cannot be rendered.  Try using the command ... to 
diagnose the problem!

Troubleshooting instructions could be included in the mode documentation 
instead.

What is the error message, and why do you think it's wrong?

What would be the right error message in this case?

In that case, the error message emitted by Emacs is wrong.  Emacs 
assumes that the man process failed for a particular reason, which is 
not the case.

Emacs cannot just unset MANOPT, since that variable could specify
command-line options for the 'man' command other than the ones you
used.

To avoid the problem you describe, I suggest to set MANOPT only in the
init file of interactive shell, so that a non-interactive shell
invoked by Emacs to run shell commands will be unaffected by MANOPT.

I don't think this is an Emacs bug.

gxditview display is more accurate (most of the time) but it cannot mark 
text, so it depends on the content.  Emacs could just unset MANOPT as 
far as I am concerned.
