AFAIK nothing, I think this is the intended result. Please search the
archives for a discussion about this.

>From the man manpage:
-M  path
              Specify the list of directories to search  for  man
              pages.  If no such option is given, the environment
              variable MANPATH is used. If  no  such  environment
              variable  is  found,  the  default list is found by
              consulting /usr/lib/man.conf.  An  empty  substring
              of MANPATH denotes the default list.

So MANPATH=:/usr/ssl/man means the default list + /usr/ssl/man
