Dunno what is wrong in your side. Here is my output (lenny):

***
sm01@stt008:~$ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 man -d xrandr 
(...)
page_encoding = ISO-8859-1
source_encoding = ISO-8859-1
cat_charset = ANSI_X3.4-1968
locale_charset = ANSI_X3.4-1968
roff_device (locale) = ascii
roff_encoding = ANSI_X3.4-1968
output_encoding = ANSI_X3.4-1968
less_charset = ascii
***

And, without setting the $LANG:

***
sm01@stt008:~$ man -d xrandr
(...)
page_encoding = ISO-8859-1
source_encoding = ISO-8859-1
cat_charset = ANSI_X3.4-1968
locale_charset = UTF-8
roff_device (locale) = utf8
roff_encoding = ISO-8859-1
output_encoding = UTF-8
less_charset = utf-8
***

P.S. Try with another (new-created) user.
