The \bodytext command sets the complete contents of the <BODY> tag,
allowing you to set *all* attributes at once, or just those that you want
to be different from the default provided by the user's browser.

On the other hand,  \htmlbody  lets you set just single attributes.
e.g. 

\htmlbody{color=blue}
\htmlbody{bgcolor=yellow}
\htmlcolor{background=mydog.jpg}

adds those 3 attribute settings separately,
for the same result as:

\htmlbody{color=blue,bgcolor=yellow,background=mydog.jpg}

or \bodytext  with the appropriate syntax.

Please try your examples using \htmlbody
and report whether you have the same behaviour regarding the
spurious Table-of-Contents page.

Hope this helps,
