Try using    
   \section{ force difference $F_{\protect\mathit {Fg}}$}
                                  ^^^^^^^^

Ooh; that is a sloppiness in LaTeX. 
They should not allow expansion of macros such as \mathbf, \mathit, etc.
when writing-out into the .toc , .lof, etc.

BTW, what version of LaTeX are you using ?
Which release-date, and patch-level ?

Hmm. Can you send me an example where this happens.
I'd guess that LaTeX2HTML has a subtle assumption that the same image
will be used as when that text is encountered in the body of the document.
That clearly is not happenning here, so you get a link to the wrong image.

I'll need to do some testing and devise a fix for this.
