Can you explain the purpose of the above change?

Your subsequent patch to correct the table, by reformatting it using
tabs instead of tbl(1) macros, might have been provoked by the above.

The .TP macro is for tagged paragraphs.  .TP consumes the next input
line as a tag for a tagged paragraph.  In man pages, .TP is often used
for definition lists.

However, because the page was being preprocessed by tbl, the .TS macro
was getting substituted with something else, and that something was
getting "eaten" by the .TP macro.

Try removing the above hunk of the patch and see if the table comes back
to life, fixed.
