Those are referring to Vim's man.vim.  Neovim's is a complete rewrite,
which specifically removed the need to load the ftplugin just to be able
to use :Man.

Yeah, I thought there had been an effort to avoid causing problems in
those scenarios.  I'll take a look.

Well, -U controls loading of the gvimrc, which doesn't exist.  -u
controls loading of the vimrc or init.vim.
