Yes, that is correct.
The \textregistered  command gets "wrapped" to make an image.
This needs to be cancelled.

One quite easy way is to define a subroutine within
the  .latex2html-init  file that is loaded for the job.
e.g.,

sub custom_driver_hook {
     print "**** loading local customisations **** ";
     undef &wrap_cmd_textregistered;
     1; }


Now you should get the entity  ®
coming from the definition within  textcomp.perl  .


Note that it is no good just putting the line
    undef &wrap_cmd_textregistered;
into  .latex2html-init .
This is because the wrapping occurs *after* the init-file
has been read and executed.

By defining a  &custom_driver_hook  subroutine,
you delay execution of this coding until after all other
initialisations have taken place.
