(This also happens on Fedora 29, JFTR.)  The warning seems
to stem from this line in rpm.8:

| […]

|     176 \fI/usr/\:lib/\:rpm/\:macros\fR:\:\fI/usr/\:lib/\:rpm/\:macros.d/\:macros.*\fR:\:\fI/usr/\:lib/\:rpm/\:platform/\:%{_target}/\:macros\fR:\:\fI/usr/\:lib/\:rpm/\

|     176 s\fR:\:\fI~/.rpmmacros
|     177
| […]

This line is too long for the standard layout.  It already
has hints ("\:"; zero-width break points) where it should be
broken, but these seem to be ignored.  So prima facie RPM
has done everything right, and there is an error somewhere
in the groff/man ecosphere.
