Did they ?
That is very surprising.

Yes, this is what you should get on the default installation...

You want to use:

	-html_version3.2,math,latin2,latin2

or

        -html_version3.2,math,latin2,unicode,latin2

to have latin2 as *both* the input encoding and the output encoding.

I suspect that your old machine had some special settings within its
 l2hconf.pm  file, which changed the input-encoding to  latin2 .
In this case, a single 'latin2' on the command-line might set the
output encoding.
Alternatively, it may have set both encodings with  l2hconf.pm 
or within a local (or site-wide) initialisation file (.latex2html-init) .
