Got a "wontfix" and "bug closed" from Debian:

"Yes, that's because /usr/share/man/man1/open.1.gz exists as an
alternative which is symlinked to xdg-open.1.gz on your system (via
alternatives), and section 1 is first in the priority list, so man is
working as designed.  Use "man 2 open" to get the page for the system
call."

What nutball does such things?
