Hmm. I've seen such numbers appear in other contexts too.
Thanks for the example. I'll use it to track down the problem.

LaTeX2HTML treats \renewcommand differently to TeX,
and there must be some buggy code.

The workaround is easy:

%begin{latexonly}
\renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.1}
%end{latexonly}

since \baselinestretch is irrelevant to HTML.

Hope this helps,
