I think that's a bug in groff. It should use plain <> for URLs, at least
for tty output devices.

I checked, and yes, it renders some character (the character depends on
the terminal: on tty I've seen a diamond, and on the xfce terminal
something similar (but slightly different) to a parenthesis).
Your console font doesn't support U+2039/U+203A and uses diamond as a
replacement character.
I have this in /etc/groff/mdoc.local and /etc/groff/mdoc.local as a
work-around:
. if '\V[TERM]'linux' \
. tr \[la]<
. if '\V[TERM]'linux' \
. tr \[ra]>
(In the long run, I should probably fix the font instead.)
