This is a terminal problem of some kind, probably not one with man. Check that your TERM environment variable is set correctly.
OK- silly question now. Where is the TERM environment set? It's not in any of the .bashrc files, or in /etc/profile.env. This is on a gentoo system btw.
Normally, it's set automatically by your terminal. Override it in any of the places you mentioned, if so required. Also, it could also be a broken termcap database (/etc/termcap) which is causing these problems.
