MiKTeX depends on its own update packages made by Christian Schenck. 
This means there can be a difference between the time when a package is 
available on Ctan and the moment its available for MiKTeX.

hmm, although i'm not experienced in using t4ht it seems to work quite 
normal on my box, which means i received finally the desired HTML-code.

Anywhere the problem you show is IMHO not a problem of ProTeXt, which is 
only a software collection, but concerns to MiKTeX. Therefore it might 
be better to post it to the MiKTeX team (contact at miktex.org).
