Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Should be OK now with any future releases and the man package being updated.

See  bug 8839 .
The problem is that /etc/profile sets a wrong MANPATH. It will be fixed when bash/filesystem are moved from testing.
Try : unset MANPATH

You are right, when I unset MANPATH, I can read pacman manpage. But I noticed now that x86 and x86_64 store pacman manpages in different directories.

x86:
/usr/man

x86_64:
/usr/share/man/

Is this correct? I noticed a message that Arch moves man pages from /usr/man to /usr/share/man to be closer to LFS specification. But I don't understand why the same package in x86 and x86_64 differ.

Because they were built with different versions of makepkg. I built pacman for i686 with makepkg30, and for x86_64 with makepkg31. This was not on purpose- I meant to build both with the old version of makepkg. :)
