I have the old pre-mandoc version of #FreeBSD man available, which uses nroff (defaulting to groff), and this gets 41 lines but only when MANCOLOR=1.
The answer to 'Why?' is of course that both mandoc and nroff format things for a Teletype Model 37 paper terminal even when they are sending down a pipe and TERM=dumb.
Pipe the output of man vi immediately through col -b to see what you get when grep isn't fighting with Teletype Model 37 printer effects.
