[l2h] expand "}%\n" to "}%%\n\n" in images.tex

latex2html (any recent version) seems to expand "}%\n" in latex 
file to "}%%\n\n" in images.tex. For example, 

  \documentclass{article}
  \newenvironment{foo}[1]{\begin{equation}\label{#1}}%
    {\end{equation}}
  \begin{document}
  \begin{foo}{label:1}
    \int f(x)
  \end{foo}
  \end{document}

is converted to 

  .....
  %
  \newenvironment{hoge}[1]{\begin{equation}\label{#1}}%%
  
  {\end{equation}} 
  .....

in images.tex. But, the environment of images.tex is not correct
(END part of the environment becomes NULL line), and the result 
of latex2html is not correct, too.

To avoid the problem, we may use other definitions:

[a] \newenvironment{foo}[1]{\begin{equation}\label{#1}}{\end{equation}}
[b] \newenvironment{foo}[1]{\begin{equation}\label{#1}}
      {\end{equation}}
[c] \newenvironment{foo}[1]{\begin{equation}\label{#1}}{%
      \end{equation}}
[d] \newenvironment{foo}[1]{\begin{equation}\label{#1}}{
      \end{equation}}

However, first definition

[e] \newenvironment{foo}[1]{\begin{equation}\label{#1}}%
      {\end{equation}}
 
is also correct in LATEX. 

Can I make latex2html not expand "}%\n" to "}%%\n\n" ?
