It appears that sbr was never implemented in manpages/docbook.xsl. The bug
you are referring to was fixed in the HTML and FO stylesheets. In
manpages/docbook.xsl, you find:
<xsl:template match="sbr" />
which does nothing. It should probably be something like:
<xsl:template match="sbr">
<xsl:text> .br </xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
