Yes; there is a problem with the heading-levels...

... which occurs when the top-level source file
has no explicit \chapter or \part commands.
Here is what needs to be fixed (in latex2html.pin , then reinstall):
sub set_depth_levels {
# Sets $outermost_level
local($level);
#RRM: do not alter user-set value for $MAX_SPLIT_DEPTH
foreach $level ("part", "chapter", "section", "subsection",
"subsubsection", "paragraph") {
last if (($outermost_level) = /\\($level)$delimiter_rx/);
#
#RRM: insert some more tests at this point.
#
last if (($outermost_level) = /\\endsegment\s*\[\s*($level)\s*\]/s);
if (/\\segment\s*($O\d+$C)[^<]+\1\s*($O\d+$C)($level)\s*\2/s)
{ $outermost_level = $3; last };
#
# end of extra tests
#
}
With this patch, the $outermost_level is now detected correctly,
and the example sets the TOC, LOF, Index etc. at the correct level,
and links them in the correct order.

Thanks for the bug report.
Hope this helps,
