According to the description of the problem gzipped man files are from the Leopard upgrade while the standard .1, etc. files are from Tiger. Yet, the rm-old-man.sh script that this generates seems to occasionally rm both the .1 and the .1.gz files. For example,
rm /usr/share/man/man1/appleping.1
rm /usr/share/man/man1/appleping.1.gz

Did you really make a clean install of Leopard on another disk to compare with ? If not, please use the rm-old-man.sh.gz that is linked to in the hint.
