I'm really surprised that that works at all in LaTeX ... as far as I recall
the intended (and documented) usage is as follows:

\verb#Foo#

where the # character can be replaced with just about any other character.
I can't recall if I've tried parsing a LaTeX document with this in it with
LaTeX2HTML, but I did think I had, and I'd be surprised if that usage didn't
work. What will work just as well in cases without ``special'' characters
(like {}) is \texttt{...}. In your example, \texttt{Foo} would produce what
you want.

I think LaTeX2HTML just doesn't understand your usage. I'm not on a machine
where I can test that theory currently, but I hope the suggestions above
help.
